Excerpt from An Incomplete Directory of the Descendants of My GreatgrandparentsIt is customary, I believe, and very agreeable, when possible, to start with some notable person, - the more notable, the better. History furnishes quite an array of persons, of different nationalities and divers colors, whose names are the same as mine, or differ so slightly that a good etymologist could easily reconcile the difference, but I am unable to find that anyone has ever discovered, forged or invented connecting links, with a character of first class magnitude, that I could tie to. To some that may look like downright stupidity, but I am not considering possibilities of that kind, not in this connection. I know just why those links are not to be found. It is the result of our inborn truthfulness, - hopeless, helpless truthfulness in time of need. I knew I would find evidence of that upon every hand as I proceeded with this undertaking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
