Publisher's Synopsis
The history of the United States of America, when reduced to its smallest common denominator is essentially several million family stories all loosely tied together. Each family story is unique but they all share the common thread of our national heritage. So it is with this book on Walter Ament Scherer, his wife Anna Laura Willcox Scherer, and their descendants. Not only is this the chronicle of their triumphs and tragedies, but it is also the record of our nation's history as seen through the eyes of this one family.
-Kevin Ladd
Following The Jackson Journal by Angelina Ogisako Davis, Family on the Bay by Robert B. Scherer, Jr. is the second installment in a collection of books about Chambers County, Texas.
