By Bob Jones IV (McDonough, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Considerable Passions: Golf, the Masters and the Legacy of Bobby Jones (Hardcover)
This volume, written to accompany the Down the Fairway exhibit at the Atlanta History Center, is a nice coffee table book, filled with some interesting pictures and some good essays. A downside to this volume is that Dr. Lewis engages in some speculation concerning Jones' attitude toward race that does not hold up to the experience of those who actually knew him. Although this volume is nice, a better treatment of Jones' life is Sidney Matthew's outstanding - but somewhat hagiographical - volume, "Life and Times of Bobby Jones: Portrait of a Gentleman."
