The United States Executive Branch: A-L
Description:... Basic biographical information (including birth and death dates, parent and spouse names, career in and out of government, and awards and honors) is provided for every president, vice-president, and cabinet head of the U.S. executive branch of government, as well as the presidents of the Continental Congress. Some bibliographic information is also provided. Only those individuals who were confirmed in office by the Senate have been included. Both volumes of the set provide listings of officeholders by date and position. Following the biographical entries, appendixes compile information related to other government service, military service by branch, education, place of birth, and marital information.
