This is the story of ordinary people — farmers, grocers, coopers, tavern keepers, mail carriers, cabinet makers — who loved their families and their country. You will find Revolutionary Patriots, Gold Rush Forty-niners, and Civil War volunteers alongside mayors and school board members. Above all, the spirit of family shines through as these hardy souls sailed across the ocean to an unknown land and moved steadily westward. Join me in celebrating their story!
