Deep Roots

Imagine The Presumably Pacifist Quaker Physician Surviving The Wilds Of Frontier Louisiana Only To See His Descendants Marry Into Families Of Battle-Hardened Warriors. One Survived Being Bayoneted Nine Times In The Revolutionary War; Oone Was Tomahawked To Death In The Indian Wars And His Heart Was Eaten By The Redskins To Carry On His Bravery; Brothers Served As Andrew Jackson’S Aides-De-Camp At The Battle Of New Orleans; And One Was A Seventeen-Year-Old Marching Off To The Civil War With His Slave By His Side. For A Storyteller This Family Is Fertile Ground And For The Reader It Is Fascinating.
