Synopsis
Musing on the history of his family, Reid came to focus on his grandfather, Willie Patterson. Estranged from Willie by his womanising, Reid's mother had woven a legend of the black sheep of the family which he decided to research and evaluate. This book tells the story of Reid's quest to understand the grandfather he never knew. In telling it, he is frank about the great pains a blind man must take to overcome many barriers to research. With the help of children and friends, he journeyed to Ireland and Mozambique, penetrating the Public Record Office and other archives.
