Samuel Hopkins Adams
(1871-1958) was a truly remarkable man. There are at least three phases to his career as a writer: early muckraking, which resulted in the kind of food-and-drug legislation more often credited to Upton Sinclair's Jungle; the flamboyant period of the 1920s, when under the pen name of Warner Fabian he wrote about "the flaming youth"; and finally, his septuagenarian discovery of his native upstate New York in fiction and memoir.
Grandfather Stories,
published in 1955, presents the gentle and humorous yarns spanning the towns and villages of the Erie Canal that Adams first heard in childhood from his grandfathers.
