Book Description
A family history of moonshiners and counterfeiters can be quite entertaining at times. The difficulty with researching history is not so much in the gathering of information as it is learning and understanding of the inhumanity of man during a particular time, not only to others but to the animals that we are supposed to care for and tend to. At times it can be like peeling an onion where tears come between with the layers. However, there are also more happy layers than sad layers which make it worth your time. It's an experience you travel as you go back into the past and follow the DNA chain links to the lives of all those who came before you in their bloodline now coursing in your veins.

Albion's Seed
Author: David Hackett Fischer
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019974369X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 981
Book Description
This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Book Description
MYSTERIOUS BOLLINGS I will start by explaining the Red, the White, and the Blue Bollings: First, the Red Bollings are Pocahontas' descendants through Colonel Robert Bolling and Pocahontas' granddaughter Jane Rolfe. Second, the White Bollings are the non-Pocahontas descendants of Colonel Robert Bolling and his second wife Anne Stith, also called the Stith-Bollings. Third, the Blue or Mysterious Bollings who seem to have just come out of the "Blue," no pun intended, claim to be Red Bollings from Major John Bolling and Elizabeth Blair. This book confirms six of the twelve "Blue" Bollings are indeed Red Bollings.

Days of Darkness
Author: John Ed Pearce
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813138345
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
" Among the darkest corners of Kentucky's past are the grisly feuds that tore apart the hills of Eastern Kentucky from the late nineteenth century until well into the twentieth. Now, from the tangled threads of conflicting testimony, John Ed Pearce, Kentucky's best known journalist, weaves engrossing accounts of six of the most notorior accounts to uncover what really happened and why. His story of those days of darkness brings to light new evidence, questions commonly held beliefs about the feuds, and us and long-running feuds -- those in Breathitt, Clay Harlan, Perry, Pike, and Rowan counties. What caused the feuds that left Kentucky with its lingering reputation for violence? Who were the feudists, and what forces -- social, political, financial -- hurled them at each other? Did Big Jim Howard really kill Governor William Goebel? Did Joe Eversole die trying to protect small mountain landowners from ruthless Eastern mineral exploiters? Did the Hatfield-McCoy fight start over a hog? For years, Pearce has interviewed descendants of feuding families and examined skimpy court records and often fictional newspapeputs to rest some of the more popular legends.
