FDR's Funeral Train: A Betrayed Widow, a Soviet Spy, and a Presidency in the Balance

Robert Klara, 2010

Klara takes us into the minds and hearts of people both famous and not-so-famous who were on the train journey that takes Roosevelt’s remains from Warm Springs, GA to his final resting place at Hyde Park. We see the President’s mistress, Lucy Rutherford, the grace and calm of the First Lady, and the new President, overwhelmed and frightened by the responsibilities of his new position. They are just three of the many interesting characters contained in this short, insightful book.
