From the Dust Jacket Flap - It is a rare individual who becomes a legend in his own time. The Reverend B. M. G. Williams seems to have accomplished just that. His familiar title, Uncle Bert, implies an existing warm relationship, yet few people remain who knew him when he first arived in El Paso, Texas in 1894. It is for this reason that Bernice Dittmer's thoroughly researched biography of B. M. G. Williams provides yeoman service. She tells his story with loving care, reaching far back into his English heritage to give us information never before made public. The reader is caught up in the Horatio Alger-like chronicle of a young immigrant English lad-under-educated and perhaps underprivileged by today's standards-who progressed from hotel employee to grocery clerk to meat packing salesman and eventually became president of a leading bakery. But it was not the role of a successful businessman that Bert Williams longed to fill. Closely bound to the Anglican church as a boy, his one real goal was to be a minister-seemingly unattainable. The story of his remarkable achievement in reaching his heart's desire and finally becoming full rector of St. Clement's Episcopal Church in 1954 at the age of 78 makes fascinating reading. Through the author's guidance we are able to see the Rev. B. M. G. Williams as he really is, truly loving and compassionate, a man of firm beliefs, willing to risk all to stand for what he considered right; yet possessing such characteristics as anger, pride, petulance and despair. The Rev. Uncle Bert is exceptional in that he attained the heights in all his endeavors, business, religious, civic, charitable and cultural and became El Paso's Most Beloved Citizen. Thirty-Five page black and white photographic Album with a wide range of pictures dating back to the 1890s. There is an 1899 photograph of St. Clements of El Paso. Color frontispiece portrait of Williams at age 80.
