Among the many other members of the Adams family who achieved prominence in varied fields of endeavor were: Brooks Adams, sociological writer and historian; Henry Brooks Adams, magazine editor and Harvard professor; Edwin Adams, actor; Alvin Adams, financier; William Taylor Adams, author; Charles Baker Adams, naturalist; Herbert Baster Adams, scholar liberty" and a signer of the SHOOTING THE Eskimos have a whole hearted belief in ghosts, many of them believing that dead persons return in the form of rocks, Ice, water, animals, and even as winds.
