Orphan's Gift - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This journey of lifetimes follows Englishman Thomas Prater (later Prather), young and without property, as he emigrates to Virginia in 1622 to seek his fortune in the New World, and ends in 20th century Ohio. When Thomas's son Jonathan dies in mysterious circumstances, the family emerges to become slaveholders, then ultimately abolitionists. They go from being planters, to farmers to participants in the industrialization of America. They participate in the American Revolution, the Civil War and the Second World War. Their story is the story of many American families who grew and changed as America grew and changed, never forgetting their land-loving roots.
