Description of Publication:
A Portrait of Alden Longfellow is about the life of the late Alden Adams Longfellow told from the perspective of his grandson. Using oral interviews with Alden Longfellow’s wife and seven children along with the author’s own experiences, A Portrait of Alden Longfellow tells the story of a hardworking and generous man who loved and provided for his family with relentless effort and commitment, often working multiple jobs at once throughout his life. In taking on this project, the author explores the question of what is gained and what is lost when a family member writes about another family member?
