Jack Heston From 1067: A Family History

Baltimore: Gateway Press, Inc.. Fine. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket, probably as issued) [as-new, with no sign of ever being handled or read]. (B&W photos, maps, costume sketches) A full genealogical workup, with many illustrations, of five distinct family lines leading to John Alexander Clarke (Jack) Heston, the son of Fraser Heston, and thus the grandson of actor Charlton Heston and his wife Lydia (the author of this tome). Although Charlton Heston himself is not the main focus on this book, there is a chapter on "The Present Generation" that presents a brief rundown of his life and movie career (11 pages out of the book's 255), although most of it consists of full-page photos. (He did, however, execute the various drawings in the book.) Although not marked as such, this book is from the collection of producer Walter Seltzer, who produced no fewer than seven of Heston's movies; quite probably the book was gifted to Seltzer by the Hestons, although if that's so it's curious that it's not signed/inscribed. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
