This collection of stories tells about some very different people from the past whose once divergent paths met at Home-Nest Farm. Stories of wars, scalpings, Indian captivity, ethnic cleansing, shipwrecks, financial failure, murder, adultery, orphaned and abandoned children, problems of racial assimilation: many such dramatic tales of our family have been told and retold before the hearth of Home-Nest Farm. But through it all, love triumphs, working things together for good, even turning the transitory sorrows into lasting joy. Two grandparents now seek to preserve for future generations the tales and lessons they teach, committing to writing what previously has been largely oral tradition. (More from the authors.)
