Arthur General

July 19, 1891 (age 87)

Eisenhower was preparing to leave for Europe where he had been appointed Supreme Commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces, so he hired Nevins to manage the farm for him. Nevins moved to Gettysburg in April 1951 and managed Eisenhower’s farm until Eisenhower retired from the presidency in 1961. Soon after Eisenhower’s death, General Nevins began to write a book about their friendship. In 1972 he provided the Eisenhower Presidential Library with a copy of the rough draft of the manuscript, which he had titled "Looking Back Over More Than Fifty Years of Friendship With General " The book was eventually published in 1977 by Carlton Press of New York City under the title "Gettysburg’s Five-Star Farmer.".
