Yankee from Olympus
Boston: Little Brown and Company, 1944. hardcover. 8vo 475pp. Atlantic Monthly Press Book. from front cover: "This is the story of a great American. It is also, because they were an essential part of him, the story of the distinguished men from whom he sprang: his Calvinist grandfather Abiel and his father, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston's witty poet, professor of anatomy and Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table. In these three divergent lives the gulf between the generations is poignantly revealed; yet a common strength united them, and together they bear witness to the richness and continuity of American life."
