Daniel-Hughes

Pageland is a memoir about the experiences of Daniel Hughes as a House of Representatives page, particularly becoming enmeshed in the Mark Foley scandal. When Daniel arrived in Washington, D.C. as a Republican page at age sixteen, little did he anticipate being sexually propositioned by a Congressman before high school graduation – not to mention being interrogated by the FBI and tracked down for information by the House Ethics Committee a decade later. This book charts those and other odd developments, as well as interactions with a number of power players – including President Bill Clinton and Speaker Newt Gingrich – from that tumultuous congressional era.
