Publisher's Synopsis
What was life like in America during and after the War for Independence? What challenges did families face? This book follows the Harris family, featured in Chapter Twelve of Book One in the "Lineage" Series, through the American Revolution and migration westward to the shores of Lake Ontario. The author merged historical fact with his family tree as if family members actually participated in historical events associated with the founding of the United States. See how one family was affected by military deployments of the day, the ravages of war, and the responsibilities of life after the war as their children grow into adulthood and strike out on their own. The main characters cross paths with George Washington, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, Philip Schuyler, and other notables of the period.
