Phillips papers, 1910-23 (Carrie Fulton Phillips; b. 1873; d. 1960) Wikipedia, July 28, 2014 (Carrie Phillips (birth name: Caroline Fulton); born September 22, 1873, near Bucyrus, Ohio; died February 3, 1960, Marion, Ohio; mistress of Warren G. Harding, 29th President of the United States. Her relationship with then Senator Warren G. Harding was kept secret from the public during its time and for decades after. The affair ended when Phillips blackmailed Harding at the time he became President. Phillips holds the infamous distinction of being the only woman in United States history known to have successfully blackmailed a major political party, by virtue of her long-term relationship with Senator (later President) Harding. In 1964 about 1,000 pages of letters written by Harding to Phillips between 1910 and 1920 were found. After their discovery the letters were sealed by the Harding family, who handed them over to the Library of Congress on the condition that they not be released to the general public for 50 years) |
