    About this ebook

    This book tells the story of ten generations of ancestors who came to America in four different centuries. It provides a unique look at how different individuals in continuous lines of ancestry participate in some of the defining moments in world history, including the English Civil War, the American Revolution, the Mexican American War, the Pony Express, the American Civil War, World Wars I and II, and the computer revolution of the 1980s. “Our Forebears… is a great family story, running through many generations. The author’s mix of history on the national and international scales offers some helpful context.” —James Hanink, Ph.D, former Professor of Philosophy, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, and Contributing Editor of the New Oxford Review “I found it [Our Forebears…] very interesting because it covered a lot of history, and not just family history, but national histories.” —James Antonioli, M.A., Professor Emeritus of English, El Camino Community College, Torrance, CA
