American History told through a Family,
By
This review is from: The Same Great Struggle: The History of the Vickery Family of Unity, Maine, 1634-1997 (Hardcover)
Andrea Constantine Hawkes has done a wonderful job of describing New England social history through the lens of a family, the Vickerys. The Vickery history starts with fishermen in Massachusetts Bay who later settle in a farming community in mid state Maine, Unity. It is the most reader friendly geneology I've read as Ms. Hawkes weaves the events of the day into the story of 10 generations. I particularly enjoyed the "detour" to Montana, where one branch of the Vickerys ( and Unity, Maine) settled.
I recommend the book for non professional readers of New England history who want a glimpse into the life of our ancestors. |
