Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first American member of this family, Joseph Dulles, fled Ireland in 1778 to escape anti-Protestant repression, made his way to South Carolina, and became a prosperous, slave-owning planter. His family was pious and inclined to the clergy.
#2 The Dulles family was extremely religious, and their sons were raised that way. They attended three church services every Sunday, and afterward they would discuss and analyze their father's sermons.
#3 John Watson Foster, the first American secretary of state to participate in the overthrow of a foreign government, was a protolobbyist who thrived on his ability to shape American foreign policy to the benefit of well-paying clients.
#4 The brothers were raised by their grandfather, Foster, who took them to Washington DC to spend the winter with him. They attended dinner parties with ambassadors, senators, cabinet secretaries, and other prominent figures.
