David Bowles lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his best friend and constant companion Lulubelle, a yellow Lab. An entrepreneur who is active in the community, he started his family history as a legacy for his children and grandchildren. However, he discovered that his stories were more exciting when he used his imagination and creativity to fill in the gaps of what might have happened when the details weren't available. The Westward Sagas are the fictionalized, but historically accurate, tales of his ancestors from colonial days to the settlement of the West.
The Westward Sagas tell the stories of the lives of Scots-Irish families struggling to find happiness on the new frontier. Spring House, the first book of the series, begins in North Carolina in 1762 and paints a vivid picture of colonial life in the backwoods of the North State. Adam Mitchell fought to protect his family and save his farm, but his home was destroyed by British troops in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, and his corn fields were turned into fields of death. "Each night I read aloud two chapters to my husband. Each day we looked forward to the nightly read-alouds. We found the history fascinating and the story good reading." Bonnie Disney, M. Ed., J.D., Teacher Specialist-On-Site, South Carolina "I enjoyed the book and look forward to the sequel." Paul Ruckman, History Buff "The history and the human story were woven together well." Nancy Harwell, Educator "This is the story of ordinary Americans in extraordinary circumstances, people who became heroes because of the way they responded to their situations. It is about great followers for without followers, there would have been no great leaders." Grace Anne Schaefer Retired Teacher, Publisher, Author of The New Day Dawns
