Still, it is interesting that, out of two volumes, the only mentions of Mrs. Intended to serve as a record of an administration rather than a complete biography. Self-serving, as are most memoirs, and unfortunately dry.Truman: Life on the Family Farms 125ġ945: Year of Decisions Harry Truman 1955

Truman and the Modern American Presidency 105 My Thirty Years Backstairs at the White House 11.NOTE: As new Truman sources appear, we will add appropriate citations to this article. PPS Thanks go to Park Ranger David Schafer for suggesting this project. This book is only a collection of opinions and remarks about MGW and is not meant to serve as a reference for anything else. In some cases this misinformation is noted with a "," but in others it is not, so beware. PS Keep in mind, especially in the oral histories, that people often get facts (dates, names, etc.) wrong. Simply the fact she is mentioned shows her to have been on the author’s mind. We’ve included everything, since versions of similar stories sometimes differ in significant ways, and any reference to Madge Gates Wallace, even tangential ones, demonstrates the pervasive role she played in the Trumans lives. The reader will notice some repetition in the notations, as well as some references that might seem oblique. If you think Madge and Harry were "devoted to each other," regardless of the criticism Merle Miller has written, okay. Wallace was an "impossible old woman," and you still feel that way after reading the compliments Harry Truman wrote about her, fine. We present these references without opinion on our part - readers will have to make up their own minds about Harry Truman's mother-in-law. This, then, is a compilation of references to Madge Gates Wallace from a variety of sources - some primary and some secondary.

The opinion of one author in one book will not suffice. Nevertheless, whatever image we present of Madge Wallace (or reason for doing so), we have to be able to support it with documented accounts. This thought may ease our unconscious sense of inferiority when we compare ourselves to one qualified to lead the country it may provide a sense of leveling that brings an almost mythological figure, the President of the United States, down to our station. Perhaps it is fun to imagine a man as powerful as the President submitting to the dictatorial manners of a domineering mother-in-law. The relationship between Harry S Truman and his mother-in-law, Madge Gates Wallace, is shrouded in myth and misconceptions. This document shows some of the varied sources on Mrs. But we must base our talks on solid research. Along with this freedom comes the responsibility to ascertain the accuracy of the information we present. Rangers at Harry S Truman National Historic Site have the freedom to conduct their own research and construct their own programs. Along the way, she had four surviving children, one of whom married the 33rd President of the United States. As the daughter of important people in Independence, she grew up in privilege, but experienced tremendous sadness in her life.
