Confluence: Genoir of an American Family Cameron Davis

It’s started as little more than a legend. A grandfather tells his grandson that he once saw a copy of a letter from Abraham Lincoln decades ago. It had been on the back of the post office door in Salem, Illinois. That small mention set into motion a nearly two-decade search by the grandson for the letter. And what he finds is stunning: not only was the letter real, but it was one of many encounters in what turned out to be a friendship between two old Illinois lawyers and friends that spanned from just after statehood until the martyred president’s assassination. But, that was just the beginning. Probing further back then forward in time, Cameron Davis found that his family was far more involved in America’s history than he ever could have guessed as a boy, when his grandfather first told him about the letter. Better than historical fiction, this genealogical memoir is the first of a new genre: the Genoir™. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Confluence: Genoir of an American Family (Cameron Davis)
