Book Description
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

Book Description
A Portrait of Patriots and Pioneers of Sevier County recognizes over one hundred patriots who fought for our country's independence during the Revolutionary War and later called Sevier County home. At the end of the war, they wanted to settle down and raise a family in a place filled with possibilities. Many fought with John Sevier at the Battle of Boyd's Creek and witnessed firsthand what this area offered: an abundance of tillable land, rivers, streams, wild game and timber. These tough, brave men came here to fulfill their dreams of a better life; an area that was still Indian Territory, with no form of government. They fought the Indians, built cabins, schools, libraries, roads, ferries, mills, and blacksmith shops, and in a very short period of time; they established the County of Sevier and the City of Sevierville. These patriots deserve to be recognized and remembered for their sacrifices, struggles, hard work, and determination. Most of them lived the rest of their lives in these hills and valleys, but a few moved on in their search of another dream. As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I'm proud that three of these patriots are my ancestors. It is my desire that this book will be used to assist others in their search for a Revolutionary War patriot or patriots who can be added to their family tree.

Book Description
The Great Puritan Migration from 1630 to 1640 brought many God-fearing people to America from England which included the Wells and Hawley families. This book highlights the struggles some of these Puritan families had such as the Deerfield Massacre in 1704. The Wells family fought through these and other battles as they moved West from New England to Rock Island, Illinois where they fought in the Black Hawk War. Ira and Daniel Wells along with other relatives brought their families over the Oregon Trail in 1847. After reaching Idaho, they chose the southern route to reach the Willamette Valley, taking the Scott-Applegate Trail and forming the Wells/Smith wagon train. Thomas Smith's remembrances of this trek are included in the book. After locating a homestead in Cottage Grove, Oregon, Ira and Anna Elizabeth (Mandler) Wells eventually settled in Elkton, Oregon in 1850, where Daniel and Eliza (Grant) Wells settled also. Asaph and Clarissa (Goss) Wells joined them in 1851. Mary Townsend Wells's articles and diary entries about her parent's, Ira and Anna, give us great insight into the lifestyle the family led and the general history of Elkton, Oregon. Another daughter, Caroline Elizabeth Wells, married William Wallace Hawley, who had taken a different journey over the Oregon Trail in 1861. He joined the United States Cavalry's Emigrant Escort led by Medorem Crawford to protect the emigrants from Indian attacks during the first year of the Civil War. Medorem Crawford's journal of the Emigrant Escort in 1861 from Omaha, Nebraska to Fort Walla Walla was transcribed by the author and is included in the book. Both the Wells and Hawley families had ancestors who fought in the American Revolution. They also had some very famous cousins. A chapter is devoted to each, their patriot ancestors and their famous cousins. This book gives a general history of the ancestors and descendants Daniel (1744-1823) and Rachel (1849-1823) Nims Wells and William Wallace Hawley (1837-1916). The local histories of Rock Island, Illinois and Elkton, Oregon are covered. In addition, Levi Scott, Eugene Skinner and the Applegates are key figures in this book. I hope you will enjoy reading how these families contributed to our great American history.
