Come back with me to the ancestors of Robert Shirk. The people and places are true, but put in a story form. The book starts out in 1912 with 12-year old Robert Shirk finding an old picture album in the attic and he wants to know more about his ancestors. His mother starts by reading a book published by a cousin on the very early relatives, going back to the Vikings. The reader will go back to 1642, over 380 years ago, when the first ancestor, John Poling, a puritan, comes from England to the present age. This book captures true American History of the average man the way it was for so many families of the time period.
