Product Description The Massy Harbison-Fort Hand Chapter, NSDAR has collected and published a diverse group of family stories from its active members. This book grew out of our view that it is just as important to record and preserve events, legends, traditions, and perceptions, as it is to research and record the more usual, often dry, genealogical facts such as dates of birth, marriage, and death in the family tree. We are attempting to put some meat on the bones of history. Here are stories from six centuries of American history reflecting good times and bad, sometimes humorous and sometimes tragic. About the Author This book was written by the members of the Massy Harbison-Fort Hand Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, located in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. Each woman is deeply interested in history, genealogy and patriotism. Each one has at least one ancestor who fought in, or contributed in some way, to the American side in the American Revolution. We have submitted stories we either remember, have heard passed down, or that we, or someone else, has researched.
