Polk''s Folly is William Polk''s captivating investigation of
his impressive family tree and of the broader American tale it
narrates.
Growing up in Texas in the late 1930s, listening to his
grandmother''s memories of her childhood amidst the Civil War, Polk
became fascinated by tales of his family''s engagement in monumental
moments of our nation''s history. Beginning when Robert Pollok fled
Ireland in the 1680s, Polk''s saga includes an Indian trader, an
early drafter of the Declaration of Independence, one of our
greatest presidents, heroes and rascals on both sides of the Civil
War, Indian fighters, a World War I diplomat, and Polk''s own
brother, a journalist who reported on the Nuremberg Trials. Full of
stunning detail and based on primary historical documents, Polk''s
Folly is a grand American chronicle that allows history to include
the lives that made it happen.
