The Kennedy Magazine collection chronicles the JFK assassination from November 1963 until 1965. There are two focuses in the collection. The first focus is on john F. Kennedy’s legacy following the assassination, with some information on the assassination. The other focus is how Jacqueline (Jackie) Kennedy reacted to the assassinating until 1965.
John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States (1961-1963), the youngest man elected to the office. On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, JFK was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, becoming also the youngest President to die.
