Clover Adams:
A Gilded and Heartbreaking Life
A legendary figure, Clover Adams was a pre-eminent Washington hostess, photographer, socialite, and the wife of renowned historian Henry Adams. But her meteoric rise from Boston Brahmin roots was cut short when, in 1883, she took a lethal dose of potassium cyanide. Join us for a discussion with acclaimed historian Natalie Dykstra, whose groundbreaking study of Clover and Henry Adams casts new light on one of the most important couples in American history.
