For Generations to Come - Book 12 The Return to Gettysburg

Description

Hello reader, Please allow me to introduce you to, "For Generations to come," an epic historical novel of the 500-year saga that took the Knauss family from 1546 Hessian Germany to America, and the generations that followed them in the United States to the present day. Real-life experiences and historical facts are uniquely blended. The story-line is like a Tom Sawyer/Nancy Drew book. It has action and tall tales for the boys and, at the same time, romance and mystery for the girl readers. The novel is written like a Hitchcock film or an old 1930s murder mystery...you think you know who "has done it" until the cliff hanger endings that are throughout the story-line. The first three chapters reveal the path taken by emigrants from Europe to the New World to becoming Americans. Chapters four through eleven focus on families during and after the American Civil War. The ending and the author's life story are in chapters twelve through fourteen. This American story also tells the parallel Native American story. Early European settlers were driven out of their native homeland by invaders from other countries. Then they did the same thing to the Native Americans who thought the settlers were invaders and squatters on their homeland. Hot button page numbers are mixed throughout the story-line, and they guide the reader to the history behind the text. "For generations to come" tries to encourage the reader to learn more about their personal history. This text was initially written for school children grades 8 through 12, but all ages have quickly enjoyed it.Thank you for your time looking at my work. Ronnie Lee
