Legacy, from what I have read a researched, is a book about a man that is shortly about to be brought in font of a congressional committee. He reflects on his life and the long line of proud Americans that he had descended from. He takes us back to the people that had affected him most on his life and tell us many interesting stories about his ancestors and people that he loved and still looks up too. Many critics agree that he is the painter of a "timeless family portrait and an eloquent lesson in American history."* The author James A. Michener has written many other loved classics, from Tales of the Pacific to Texas and forthcoming Alaska. Michener created over forty titles, the majority of which are novels of sweeping sagas, covering the lives of many generations in a particular geographic backdrop and incorporating historical facts into the story as well. Michener was known for the meticulous research behind his work. Something that you might find interesting is that he was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Some predication that I have about the book are that he will go over and tell us about the people that affected him the most in his life. For example he might talk about his life in general, from his childhood to his adult years and the people that were in his life during that time. He will reflect on all of the things that he enjoyed and hated and all of this will happen in a short time span before he gets called in front of the congressional committee. I am positive that this will be a very interesting books to read over the next month because I personally love books that are based in the early 1900's.
