| Summary |
Brilliant scientist and witty conversationalist, bestselling author and architect of the great surveys that mapped the West after the Civil War, Clarence King hid a secret from his Gilded Age cohorts and prominent Newport family: for thirteen years he lived a double life--as the celebrated white Clarence King and as a black Pullman porter and steelworker. Unable to marry the black woman he loved, the fair-haired, blue-eyed King passed as a Negro, revealing his secret to his wife Ada only on his deathbed. |
