Taft and Pickwick: Sleep Apnea in the White House

Materials and Methods

I examined multiple published works about Taft and his times, plus items from the 700,000 documents in the William Howard Taft papers held by the Library of Congress.^[1] As all Taft scholars have found, the candid, contemporaneous observations of Taft's closest White House aide, Major Archibald Butt,^[6] proved especially valuable. I could not locate Taft's medical records.
