Sam Williams was born in Paris, Kentucky, in 1831. He became a newspaper man and worked on papers in Kentucky and Illinois until after the Civil War. He then moved to Kansas City where he was part-owner of two different papers. He came to the St. Louis Post and worked with Joseph Pulitzer. He died in St. Louis in 1928. Sam Williams' grandmother "remembered riding in George Washington's carriage" and his father, "as a small boy, peeped over through the side-boards of a wagon and saw American Revolutionary War soldiers marching to fight. ... When he determined to put some of these tales, some of his family history, in written form, Samuel Williams used as his sources his own good memory, several biographical and genealogical works, and a few fragments he possessed of his father's autobiography. He arranged the material around certain members of his family: his grandfather Williams, his parents, his brothers and sisters and his daughter Clara." Two appendices and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.
