A memoir of Jeffries Wyman--groundbreaking scientist, Boston Brahmin, adventurer, diplomat, artist, and eccentric--by his daughter Anne. After the death of his first wife, Wyman travelled the world, leaving his two children with relatives. But he sent them a stream of brilliant letters chronicling his travels and his friendships with everyone from Alaskan Eskimos to luminaries such as J. Robert Oppenheimer. A frank, loving portrait of a man who led an uncommonly tumultuous life.
