Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every family has a story.This Swiss/German family came to America in the early 1800s with dreams, big dreams that included cotton, land ownership, liberty. and love. They depart the Old Country as a family of nine, having no idea that only the three boys would survive the epic journey. Traveling along the Great Wagon Road, the brothers John, Jacob, and Fred ultimately find themselves in the deep wilderness of the Mississippi Territory. It is 1805. With little government and no laws, it is every man for himself. The brothers must rely on their wits and each other as they stake a claim at a place they name "Hope Hill." They are fortunate to make allies with the nearby Choctaw Indians. Aged 21, 18, and 8, they experience danger, adventure, dismay, and heartbreak, all while carrying the heavy weight of their family's loss. Can they overcome their grief to forge a new future and even find love? The reader will be transported in time to a period of history when resolute men and women establish their roots in the Old South. This is a story of faith, grit, and resilience, when a new nation was being forged in the heart of the American frontier. This is the Mississippi Territory. Comments from readers of Ishee's first book in this series, "Two Sacks," include: "While most of us have a rather general knowledge of the sacrifices the pioneers made, Jeff has made them very personal and inspiring. Although the story is partly fiction, it is based on reality. I was thoroughly engrossed in the story from the beginning." Anonymous reader "I was seeking a book to help me understand what it was like for my family to cross the ocean during the 19th-century. 'Two Sacks' made me feel as if I were on the ship." David W. "A beautiful story filled with adventure, drama, romance, and intrigue, with historical facts that educate us on this fascinating period of time. It helped me understand the reality of the great challenges our ancestors and others endured and made me more grateful for their determination and perseverance." B.H. This item is printed on demand.
