about his ancestors, discovers two
unusual and vigorous characters,
Rome Hanks, his great grandfather
and Tom Beckham, his grandfather.
The character Of Rome, soldier and
citizen, is clear cut and stands like
pleasant memory after some
what tumultuous storm. The au-
thor's talent is unacceptable, whether
one likes the book or not. The
book stands as one Of the best TO
