An ambitious digressive and endlessly entertaining account of the thousand-year history of the George Millses GEORGE MILLS is the antithesis to the typical Horatio Alger story. Since the First Crusade there has always been a George Mills whodespite his best effortsis unable to improve his position in life or that of his descendants. Instead all the George Millses are forced to accept their lot as true blue-collar workers serving important personages in a series of odd jobs ranging from horse talker in a salt mine to working as a furniture mover in contemporary St. Louis. But the latest in the long line of George Millses may also be the last as he obsesses about his familys history and determines that he will be the one to break this doomed cycle of servitude.
