He had a brother named Clinton, and Harry Clinton White was Clinton's son, making him George's nephew. <br />Makes me wonder if there are other other Optic titles out there signed to George W. White.<br /><br />BartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319244236553990761.post-76205015428807835412009-06-29T13:51:29.385-05:002009-06-29T13:51:29.385-05:00Cary-

The book's dedication page reads "To My Young Friend / Harry Clinton White / This Book / Is Affectionately Dedicated". The inscription reads "Geo W White / With regards of / William T. Adams". It is not clear what Harry's relationship was with either George or Adams, but since he is not addressed as "nephew" or "grandson" my first guess might be George's younger brother. I have sent an email to Peter Walther that may provide the answer, or you might already know it. Interesting thing is that your book and mine (which I bought 21 years ago) once kept company on the same shelves! I will update this as I learn more. Bart NybergAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
