Cover Description: The Truman Family, commissioned for the State Historical Society of Missouri in 1951 by Richard N. Nacy, is one of eleven portraits that artist Greta Kempton painted of President Harry S. Truman, Bess Wallace Truman, and their daughter, Margaret. The oil-on-canvas work is featured in the Society’s current gallery exhibition, Twentieth-Century Missouri Portraits: From Famous to Familiar. Beginning on page 1 of
this issue, Ethan S. Rafuse examines the president’s love of history in “‘Far More Than a Romantic Adventure’:
The American Civil War in Harry Truman’s History and Memory.”
