http://www.simmonshistorical.com/; Reviews for the book: ~BACK THEN~ by Carol White Harrison (Whom my brother and I call...MOTHER) "Stories of Families in Virginia, North Carolina, West Tennessee and Western Kentucky: Bowers, Canter, Colley, Elder, Frensley, Grissom, Harrison, House, Ownby, Kuykendall, Lawrence, McCuan, Monroe, Myers, Pittman, Powers, Pritchard, Pryor, Seay, Troutt, Wade, Walden, White, Williams and hundreds of allied and collateral names." "Woven from the fabric of everyday lives, these stories happened at various times from before the American Revolution to post World War II and involve many families from Virginia and the Carolinas who eventually merged in Tennessee and Kentucky, and their allied and collateral lines. Among the characters who emerge as Ms. Harrison traces family history are John Rowley, Gentleman, who was murdered by Indians on his Virginia Plantation before 1700; George Corbin, who states he was commanded by Marquise Lafayette and knew General Washington; Ambrose Walden, companion of Daniel Boone in Kentucky, whose heirs became embroiled in a suit in the Kentucky Court of Appeals over 10,000 acres in Kentucky; two ancestors who were peers and neighbors of Davy Crockett; and four who served the Confederacy--one wounded at the Battle of Shiloh and another who rode with General Nathan B. Forrest's 12th Kentucky Calvary. The book finishes with an impressive collection of old recipes." The Genealogical Helper Everton Publishers Ogden, Utah "A truly interesting, insightful, and entertaining work. The stories provided are vividly descriptive of ancestral family members and the times and places in which they lived. Libraries will find BACK THEN an assest of tremendous value to persons interested in amassing a meaningful family history based on genealogical research and oral history. This book is recommended as a model for intended works as well as enjoyable reading." William Lynwood Montell Emeritus professor of Folk Studies Western Kentucky University Kentucky Humanities Council Speaker Author, Folklorist, Historian "BACK THEN is definitely a contribution to the field of historic literature, and a good book to read. Historically correct and well-documented, the book also gives insight into social customs and oral traditions." Don Simmons Simmons Historical Publications Melber, KY "Fine work in researching the lives of so many good people."
