INTRO
(from Amazon)
Nine Generations of Farming and Family and Five Wars... When the Globe
set sail on a misty morning in 1679 from London, 21-year-old Thomas
Barnard was in the ship's hold, preparing for the long voyage to
America. Trading five years' service for free land in America had seemed
like a good idea at the time, but as England faded from view, Tom was
already homesick for the green hills of Gloucestershire. In A Farming
Family in the New World, we follow Tom's journey to America, and as the
story unfolds, nine generations of his family flourish on American soil.
From the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the War of
1812, the Civil War through World War II, from 1679 to 2005, history
comes to life in this meticulously researched book, which chronicles the
history of one American family through times of peace and prosperity,
poverty and war.

The book is very well written by CA Coffey who give the view points of men, women and children as they live in the frontier west.
