Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jack. 192 p. : ill., ports.; 21 cm. Includes: Illustrations, Portraits."This book is about such people as "Crackie" who ran a plaster works, started a general store, built ships and railroad lines and sold everything from telegraph poles to chinaware. While his son "F.W." became a power in the province, another son was an exotic character who "never did any work but just moseyed around" and wound up on the coast of China. The Sumner family has been in North America since 1636 and produced many notable individuals but none more intriguing than the generations who have matched a city's every step as it grew from a shipyard to a metropolitan community. It could well be called "The Sumner Saga."
