Artifact Overview

Stunned and disillusioned Americans eagerly embraced commemorative books and magazines following the tragic death of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. The American public also regretted that this marked the end of Jacqueline Kennedy's time as First Lady. This 1964 souvenir book helped them keep that memory alive.
