Title: Murrow cousin comment
Product review: Persico did an oustanding job of capturing the life of Ed Murrow. As a cousin of Ed Murrow and researcher of the family history, one correction in future printings would be appreciatiated. Chapter 2, page 16 (in my version) states that Ed's father, Roscoe's, grandfather, "had married a woman who was half Cherokee". That is not correct. Roscoe's grandfather was Andrew Murrow who married a true daughter of the British Isles. Our beloved Cherokee connection comes from a generation earlier - Roscoe Murrow's great grandfather, father of Andrew, John Murrow, married a woman who was one QUARTER Cherokee. So the statement was wrong on both counts - wrong generation and wrong amount of Native American heritage. In Persico's defense, this information came from an interview during which Ed Murrow himself apparently misquoted the family history.
