Lost Boundaries by W. L. White, published by Harcourt, Brace, and Company for $1.50, a book of 91 pages, is an interesting study in race relationship, really the true story of the Albert Johnson family in Gorham and in Keene, New Hampshire. Dr. Johnson was a successful doctor who, with his family, had passed as white until he was rejected by the Navy in the last war. At this time he told his son, Albert Jr., the true story of his race. The blow was a terrific one to him. While a student at Mt. Hermon he had come to know well Charles Duncan, Dartmouth '46, and while there had been admitted to Dartmouth. At Dartmouth the fact that he was colored preyed on his mind so much that he left College after a short residence and wandered about the country for two years, far from happy, and almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Some of this time he was in the Navy. He lived for a while with relatives of dark color in California, attended College there, and finally entered the University of New Hampshire.
The main theme of the book deals with Albert's wanderings during these two years. The Johnsons are to be congratulated for allowing their story to be told. A digest of it appeared earlier in the Reader's Digest. It is to be hoped that this story, simply and well told, will do much to improve race relationships, and to do away with race prejudice.
