"I HEARD THE OLD MEN: SECRET OF THE CAPE THAT HAS VANISHED, AND LITTLE-KNOWN DRAMAS ON THE FRINGE OF LIVING MEMORY" BY LAWRENCE G GREEN. HARDCOVER, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET, FIRST EDITION, 1964, 296 PAGES, NAME FROM PREVIOUS OWNER, IN GOOD CONDITION. I Heard Old The Old Men Say is a long and satisfying work in which Lawrence Green uncovers the life and secrets of the Cape Peninsula that has vanished. This entirely new book is in the same vein as his famous Tavern of the Seas, a record best-seller for many years. Some of the vivid and authentic narratives in this book comes from the distant past, but the author has drawn largely from the interesting period which is still on the fringe of living memory. It is a dramatic story, a wide sweep of events, which Lawrence Green presents. Always he avoids the themes that have been dealt with by other writers. His episodes have the freshness which can only be achieved by personal interviews with many old people.
