| Summary: | "Pulitzer Prize winner Henry Allen tells nearly five centuries of his family's history through the places they lived"-- "Henry Allen's singularly distinctive voice brings alive nearly five centuries of family by describing places where they lived amidst Indian wars, a witchcraft trial, privateering, wagon trains, a split over slave trading, the friendship of presidents, the dwindling of the old Anglo Saxon hegemony, let alone the heartless mysteries of money, alcohol, and gentility from plantations in South Carolina and Guadeloupe to a boardinghouse in Queens, a sadly grand old house in Orange, New Jersey, farmhouses, mansions, apartments, ships, tents and dormitories, towns in Rhode Island and Connecticut"-- |
