Henry Adams

Recollections and Reflections Henry Adams

At the age of 87 Henry John Adams decided to record the story of his life for the benefit of his daughter, granddaughter and great grandchildren, and so this is the story of his immigrant parents who came to the United States in 1912, and a brief history of the conditions in Europe that caused the mass exodus to this country, the story of his birth in a log cabin in northern Wisconsin in1918, the story of his growing up and world events at the time - and the story of his devastation at the death of Doris after more than fifty years of marriage - only to find that the world goes on and so does his life when he meets Gini, a Southern Belle visiting friends in California, follows her to Budapest where they were married by a Presbyterian Hungarian minister who spoke no English, and lived happily ever after in Florida.
