Middling Folk : Three Seas, Three Centuries, One Scots-Irish Family
Description
"Middling Folk shows how one Scots-Irish family, the Hammills-millers, carriage makers, and blacksmiths-quietly lived out their lives against a backdrop of the American Revolution, the Civil War, and westward expansion. Spanning three centuries from the shores of Ireland to the Chesapeake Bay Area to the Pacific Northwest, this saga brings the early days of the founding of this country to life through the lens of the middle class. History buffs will relish the personal encounters with dramatic historical events from revolutions, uprisings, and the experience of owning slaves in the colonial South to economic booms and busts, with all their consequences. Private drama, too, plays its part: tragic deaths, business successes and failures, and, of course, love and loss. Readers will come away with a newfound respect for the ordinary families who helped shape this country and managed to hold their own through turbulent times. They may even be inspired to dust off their own family histories to see what they reveal about themselves today."--
