The writer is neither an author, a
journalist nor a literary student.
The book is not a novel, but a non-
fiction history. From records, news-
paper clippings, what was learned
from relatives and friends and what
was known by the writer, which when
>enumerated, tells the story of the
Geo H.N. Luhrs family of Phoenix,
Arizona, United States of America.
Written, as the thought of events
came to the writer's mind, there is
some lack of continuity, and some
repetition.
