Details:

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy autographed and inscribed copy of her memoir Times to Remember. Published in 1974 by Funk & Wagnalls, the volume is warmly inscribed on the title page:

“To dear Tom
With affectionate appreciation
for your interest and cooperation
in all our efforts during many years
Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy”

A highly personal inscription, the book reflects Rose Kennedy’s gratitude toward an individual who appears to have been associated with or supportive of the family’s endeavors over an extended period. Signed books bearing lengthy inscriptions from the Kennedy matriarch are considerably scarcer than examples signed only with her name and offer a more intimate connection to one of the most influential families in American political history.

Times to Remember chronicles Rose Kennedy’s life from her childhood in Boston through the rise of the Kennedy family and the triumphs and tragedies that shaped their legacy. The work contains recollections of her husband Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., her children, including President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the values that guided the family throughout decades of public service. The book remains one of the most important firsthand accounts documenting the Kennedy family’s extraordinary place in twentieth-century American history.

Good condition overall with light expected handling wear, and age toning. The autograph and inscription remain bold.

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy (1890–1995) was the matriarch of the Kennedy family and mother of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Married to Joseph P.
