From Terry Meagher, the publisher:

“This is truly a People’s History, and Dave Wells and Sandra Wells came up with a wonderful way of making that so.  they gathered detail on every creek and every abandoned foundation and every whisper of a ghost.  But there’s more than that, Everyone village, hamlet and small community has produced what one of their neighbours calls Rocking Chair Genealogy, a group of stories told by the people. Some of them might not be completely true.  But this book the catch what the historian in a ivory tower is apt to miss.  The stories catch the essence of humanity as it existed then and they reflect how the people saw themselves and their neighbours.
