Book Description

Excerpt from Uncle Henry's Own Story, Vol. 1 It was suggested to him that the ordinary biography, or even autobiography, fails to tell the things that people most like to learn about. That his great-grandchildren, for example, would be intensely interested in the sort of life he lived as a boy and a young man. They would like to know about the things in which he had an active part, and in which he was vitally interested. They would like to know of the manners and customs of the people with whom he grew up and lived. Why not, as he had leisure, write a series of intimate letters to the young folks, who probably would be coming on years afterwards - the sort of letters that would reveal his own personality as no biographer could do it?
