FAVORABLE COMMENT The N. E. Historical-Genealogical Register says, “So copious are the details respecting nearly every member of the family that the work may be described as a Biographical Genealogy.” Maj. E. T. Bouvé, Mass., compiler of war records, writes: “Your very fine genealogy.... The information is of great importance to me.” The Sutton Reference Library, Mass., ordered a copy for approval or return. It was not returned; a check was sent in payment. The _Essex Antiquarian_ says: “A more interesting family history has not been published.” FAMILY PRIDE Family pride is a commendable trait, like national pride or patriotism. The book is the story of the family, male and female, and cannot fail to awaken the just pride of all loyal members. They can write in it their own families as years make them, and leave priceless heirlooms to their posterities. A HISTORY Don’t be deceived. The book is not the ordinary genealogy of dates and names. It is a _history_; it reads like a history. There are more than five dozen portraits with their biographies; numerous examples of unsurpassed bravery, as witness there doubt of Bunker Hill, the Pigwacket of Captain Lovewell and the War of 1812; and of patriotism, as witness the wars for the mother country; as colonists; against her, as revolutionists, and as defenders of our home government in the Civil War.
