In every other Boston
First Family there have been men and women who were so pro-
British or so pro-Southern, so anti-Lincoln or so anti-Wilson,
that their activities stand as a dark reflection on the ability of
these Families to cope with history on a national scale. Their
present-day descendants are fated to read ancestral records with
grimaces and decorously bowed heads. Not so the Adamses.
They alone can hold their heads high, secure in the knowl-
edge that hardly a single forebear ever failed, when the chips
were down and his country called, to hew to the line of patri-
otism. One and all they put their country first and Boston, and
often themselves, second. Furthermore, though often accused
of seeking the limelight, no Adams since the time of John has
ever basked in this light, once it came his way, in unseemly
fashion. A typical case of exemplary conduct in this regard oc-
curred as recently as 1929 when the present Charles Francis
Adams took office in Washington as Secretary of the Navy. Since
his great-great-grandfather had founded that Navy the mo-
ment was a historic one and the room was crowded with report-
ers and photographers. One of the latter asked the new Secre-
tary to pose writing at his desk. Dutifully Adams sat down and
glumly scribbled on a piece of paper while the bulbs flashed.
Later the photographer retrieved the paper and read the line,
“This is hell this is hell this is hell.”
