The Grants of the Northern Neck of Virginia are more than a simple lineage. Their participation in outward bound migrations that shaped America and three wars-Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil-requires historical understanding. As a science, history changed in the 1950s from a focus to please the reader to one of critical thinking and criticisms of institutions, policies and economic divide previously held sacrosanct. This book follows a similar path. It provides a fresh perspective on Grant family history and lineage in an environment of intolerant individuals, institutions and policies; and is truly a remarkable story of spirit and endurance.
