This book begins with the earliest history of America and explores ties with the Lost Colonists of Roanoke Island and Native Americans. Gideon Gibson of the 1700s South Carolina and his son Jordan Gibson, stood large on the pages of history and gave credence to the mixed blood ties. The Lees of Virginia, Taylor, Colville, Howell, Locke, Williams, Foster and Moore families are all a part of the great American saga. They contributed to independence during the American Revolution. They served in the War of 1812, Spanish-American War, the Civil War, forged the settling of the West, suffered the great depression, two World Wars, and continue to the present. With the opening of the West and migration into Tennessee prior to statehood, the focus is on the Sumner County Black, Gibson, McKain families and General James Winchester, friend of Andrew Jackson. A supplement includes Colonel George Gabriel Powell of early South Carolina. A memoir is included of early life during the great depression in the Dust Bowl of Oklahoma.
