American Castle: 100 Years of Mar-A-Lago
In American Castle, Pulitzer Prize finalist Mary C. Shanklin draws from previously untapped interviews, documents, and recordings to follow Mar-a-Lago’s evolution. Beginning as a residence of socialite heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and financier E.F. Hutton it collides with the Kennedys, the state of Florida, a potential make-over as The Mar-a-Lago Center for Advanced Scholars, Lady Bird Johnson, Richard Nixon, the National Park Service, and—of course—Donald Trump.
