James Bernard West (July 27, 1912 – July 18, 1983) was the 6th Chief Usher of the White House serving from 1957 to 1969. His best-selling book, Upstairs at the White House: My Life with the First Ladies (with Mary Lynn Kotz), documents his time in the executive mansion and is considered a good source of material on the First Families he served.
