Lew Wallace, Vol. 1 of 2 Synopsis

Excerpt from Lew Wallace, Vol. 1 of 2: An Autobiography

Mine were folk who cared little for ancestry. The grandmother on the paternal side was the exception. A correspondent writes me of hearing her speak often and proudly of her uncle John Paul, he of the famous surname J ones. She was wont to take fire, also, when telling of her Virginia birth, and of being trotted on his knees by George Washington. My American readers will forgive her, I am sure, if she never forgave the British for killing one of her brothers at Brandywine.
