Working with the full cooperation of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith have accessed a wealth of previously untapped materials. While drawing liberally from the artist's famously eloquent letters, they have also delved into hundreds of unpublished family correspondences, illuminating with poignancy the wanderings of Van Gogh's troubled, restless soul. Naifeh and Smith bring a crucial understanding to the larger-than-life mythology of this great artist.

The Household of Ruth started out as a Mutual Aid Society to assist African Americans in need, such as relieving the sick or burying deceased members, since life insurance wasn't available for them. Later the Household of Ruth began to select various charities for support. Furthermore, new members of the Household of Ruth had to know a member who vouched for their integrity and good character (Huffman). With that being said, Phoebe Green must have been well thought of, as she was voted into a high position in the Household of Ruth: the Grand Recorder. This role entailed many responsibilities, some of which included composing reports, writing minutes during meetings and hearings, and documenting membership information (Huffman).
