Bøker av Will Turner

The adventurous journey of related families from England to Maryland, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Texas History and Genealogy are blended into the story of the immigrant Matthew Turner, who arrived in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1733, and all of his descendants who participated in and experienced the formation of the new nation of the United States of America. The Turner Family descendants were involved in all of our nation's conflicts from the Revolutionary War, the Indian Wars, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the World Wars I and II. Their experiences were common to all Immigrant Families.

History, Social, Government, and Economic Policies are revised and melded to develop a reformed system of new taxation to fund the essential services of our national, state, and local governments to assure the continuation of the many blessings of the United States for our descendants.

History and genealogy are expertly blended in this personal account of an aristocratic southern family and what they endured in the devastating aftermath of the Civil War. The book begins with the founding of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607, the first permanent English settlement in North America, and follows the author's ancestors up to and after the Civil War. Rich in historical detail, Bitter Ashes eloquently describes the destruction the family faced after the war-a war that left only ashes of what remained of their once-proud land.
