Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That said, it was a difficult book to read because it was information dense. Because I am not related at all it was hard to keep all the names straight without a family tree diagram. The stories about fighting in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and other family issues were very interesting but not nearly enough to keep me glued to the book. If you are doing research on any of these families, this book would be extremely helpful because it includes footnotes, bibliography and index. If you just want a good read, this is probably not the book for you. ![]() I have worked on a number of family history books, and thoroughly appreciated the great effort (and love) that went into this great work. Some researchers have nit-picked details that may or may not be correct. Those are the least of my concern. This extremely detailed, very complex report is a valuable contribution to the family and all of the people with whom the extended families reported have come in contact. The documentation is exceptional in quantity and sets a high standard for other families that may want to create such a book of their own. If you haven't actually done a complete book, such as this one, you cannot have sufficient understanding to criticize the work, in my opinion. Thanks to Jeff, and those many folks who assisted him, and who went before him in the research, for sharing this bit of social history for the general public. ![]() keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
During his presidency, Jimmy Carter received a comprehensive analysis of his family's genealogy, dating back 12 generations, from leaders of the Mormon Church. More recently Carter's son Jeff took over the family history, determined to discover all that he could about his ancestors. This resulting volume traces every ancestral line of both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter back to the original immigrants to America and chronicles their origins, occupations, and life dates. Among his forebears Carter found cabinet makers, farmers, preachers, illegitimate children, slave owners, indentured servants, a former Hessian soldier who fought against Napoleon, and even a spy for General George Washington at Valley Forge. With never-before-published historic photographs and a foreword by President Jimmy Carter, this is the definitive saga of a remarkable American family. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
