[Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

He had a marvelous life, no doubt. These selections were gathered by his brother, lovingly and carefully. I wish more had been included about the end of his life. I have been able to piece together the fate of his daughter and his farm. All-in-all, a very interesting man.
