To be honest, I am still reading it. I ordered it because it mentions the Salter family whom are ancestors of my maternal grandmother. Through doing my family’s genealogy, I came across the book. I find it so interesting to learn how my early ancestors lived. I have always been a bit of a history buff. From what I have read so far, I highly recommend!
