Summary of Doris Kearns Goodwin's Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Lyndon Johnson’s mother, Rebekah, was a dreamy young girl who had spent her afternoons reading poetry under the shade of the big trees in the gardens of their house. She projected herself as a moral example to her son.

#2 Sam Johnson’s mother, Rebekah, had the same experience as Lyndon’s mother. She was a cultured woman who lost her father when she was young, and she married a small-time farmer and trader. She had to adjust to a completely different life.

#3 Johnson’s mother, Rebekah, was extremely discontent with her life with Sam Johnson. She felt alone and miserable, and she constantly fought with him over how the household was managed.

#4 The Baines family code was very strict about sobriety, and it was a guarantee of reliability and industry. Sobriety was a promise of morality and economic success. When Rebekah saw her husband drink, she saw how badly it affected him, and she cried a lot.
