| Publisher Description: Mr. Claude is an unforgettable and moving account of a sawmill worker, his forebears and descendants, in rural Texas from the end of the Texas Revolution until the 1960s. It is also the real story of family joys and sorrows, personal strengths and quirks. Ada Morehead Holland faithfully captures the rhythms and nuances of East Texas speech--and its changes through the generations--and vividly portrays this man, this family, and this manner of people |
