The History of an American Pioneer Family

Although The Smith Family Name Is Common The Story Of This Smith Family Is Anything But Common. This History Begins With The Ancestors That Arrived In The British Colonies Of North America In The Early 1600’S. The Majority Of The Book Is Made Up Of The Biographies Of Five Generations Of The Family That Are Primarily Based On First And Second Hand Sources. Some Memories Are Quoted In The Text To Give A Personal Perspective. The Direct Line Ancestors Of Family Were Expelled From Nauvoo Illinois In 1846 With Other Members Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. They Faced Great Hardship Crossing The Planes And Then Had To Establish Homes In The Wilderness. The Suffering And Dedication Of Those People Is Inspirational.
