The Story of Jim Jones

Jim Jones worked as a night orderly at Read Hospital in Lynn, Massachusetts. He was tall for his age and had jet black hair set over a face that betrayed a heritage foreign to the Anglo-German majority of his native Lynn. Jim's features were almost asiatic, yet dark almond-shaped eyes set into a high cheekbone face with a complexion that could have been made Native American or Mediterranean. His mother and he would talk about Indian heritage, but I don't think anybody's ever actually been able to trace that out.
