Description
Young Lyndon learned about politics mostly from his father, Samuel Ealy Johnson Jr. This room, the parents' bedroom, doubled as the place where men would come and meet with Sam, who was a state representative for 12 years. Lyndon learned early about the rough and tumble of representative government by listening surrreptitiously to conversations, either through the door or -- legend has it -- under the floor.
