Some say the Dupon family is a chapter of American history.
They personally witnessed the United States' rise from weakness to supremacy, and they too were once engulfed by the torrents of history, only to be carried back to strength by the genius of their own family.
If one thing has remained constant over the years, it has likely been their dedication to ensuring the birth of geniuses.
The family preserved the custom of intermarriage.
The Dupon family was different from ordinary people; they had enough capital to bet on whether their children would be geniuses, mediocrities, or born with deformities.
George and his cousin married and had six children; five were deformed, and only Hill was normal.
He was the third son George prided himself on, having inherited the family's excellent genes. Hill excelled in academics from a young age, was quick-witted, and George considered him the future successor.
