Battles In the Carolinas And Our Ancestral Veterans: A Collection of Stories & Sketches from "This Too Shall Pass" Volumes I, II, & III

Battles in the Carolinas and Our Ancestral Veterans is a collection of stories and personal sketches from the author's larger work, This Too Shall Pass, Genealogy of the Western North Carolina Hardin, Wilkie, Daily, and Brooks Families, Volumes I, II, & III. In this beautifully illustrated book the authors focus on the struggles of their ancestors and their involvement in the eastern Indian Wars, three critical Revolutionary War battles in the Carolinas that were instrumental in our country's fight for independence from England, and in the Civil War and the plight of the southern soldiers. From their Quaker ancestors involvement with Daniel Boone and his battles with the Shawnee Indians on the Appalachian frontier, to the Quaker's selfless acts of kindness when the Battle of Guilford Courthouse came to their doorstep, and from the aftermath of the Battle of Kings Mountain that played out on the Hanging Tree in Rutherford County, to the first Patriot victory in the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Moores Creek Bridge, the authors give us many personal and revealing accounts of historical events and the plights and conditions their family ancestors had to endure.This book also sheds light on the southern culture, ideals, and their Carolina forefathers who answered the call of the bugle and drum to bravely march off to fight in the Civil War. And throughout this work, from the Indian Wars to the Civil War, the authors record and make special note of the names of all their ancestral veterans who fought, and died -- and those that survived. So whether you trace your roots through western North Carolina and family surnames such as Brooks, Covington, Daily, Gladden, Hardin, Hunt, Mendenhall, Rawlings, Rollins, Smart, Van Winkle, Walker, and Wilkie -- or whether you simply love reading about our country's history, there is much to enjoy in this wonderfully illustrated, interesting and informative account of the Battles in the Carolinas and Our Ancestral Veterans.
