(Song of the Ogeechee is based on a true story about two c...)
Song of the Ogeechee is based on a true story about two cousins who were like brothers born to families of affluent cotton planters in early 19th century Georgia who encountered set backs and ordeals caused by the Civil War followed by other hardships during the Reconstruction period. It continues after this period to tell how they overcame problems and responded to adverse conditions to be recognized for their efforts in a world that was busy with industrial progress and social change.The Allen cousins were born in Burke County near Midville not far from the Ogeechee River. Dr. Young John Allen spent his life in China and when he died was well known throughout China, Korea, Japan, and America for his achievements as a Methodist missionary in China from 1860 to 1907. Capt. John P. Allen spent his life in Dawson and Terrell County, Georgia, and when he died was well known throughout the South as a member of the 'Immortal Six Hundred' and as a pioneer citizen and reputable jeweler in Dawson.The author attempts to tell this story for the first time to relate the amazing account of heritage and inherited talent in the Allen family through the symbol of a silver chalice passed on to descendants from 1857 and the magic of the Ogeechee River, the Indian name for 'River of Songs'.

(An historical fiction based on a true story about Governo...)
An historical fiction based on a true story about Governor Francis Nicholson (1655-1728), a British military officer and colonial governor, who became the governor of five different colonies in America at different times from 1690 to 1725. While Nicholson overcame ordeals as a young military officer and achieved success as a colonial governor in America, he suffered set-backs and a re-call to England as he rose to prominence. His rise to fame was interrupted at the age of forty four years old in 1698 by his pursuit of the lovely Lucy Burwell who was sweet sixteen and courted by Edmund Berkeley, who succeeded in marrying her in 1702 to the dismay of Governor Nicholson. After his re-call to England by Queen Anne in 1705 Nicholson was reinstated in 1710 with another position in the colonies, which led to the rank of Captain-General of the colonial army and title of "Governor of Governors" from 1714-to 1716. Upon the appointment of George I, a Whig, to the throne of England in 1714 due his affiliation with the Tory party, Nicholson was removed as a colonial governor in 1716, but received one final appointment to the governorship of South Carolina in 1721, which lasted until 1725. While his ferocious temper produced many enemies, Nicholson's patronage of religion and education, which involved donating funds for the repair or construction of at least seventy-one churches, schools, and royal government buildings in eleven colonies made him one of the crown's more effective colonial servants.

(A non-fiction biography about Ludovic Grant, Gent., born ...)
A non-fiction biography about Ludovic Grant, Gent., born near Fyvie Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in 1688. As a Jacobite warrior in 1715, he was captured along with 1,500 other Scotch Highlanders at Preston, England, and imprisoned at Chester Castle for six months. His trial resulted in banishment to Charles Town, SC, in 1716. After serving as an indentured servant for seven years, he became a licensed trader with the Cherokee Indians in Tennessee and married a full-blood Cherokee woman. His letters to Gov. Glenn of South Carolina from 1751 to 1756 preserved in South Carolina archives served to alert colonial authorities of affairs in the Cherokee Nation and French aggression in the colonies. As the ancestor of thousands of mixed-blood Cherokees, his legacy has continued to this day throughout the Cherokee Nation and America. Through his marriage and marriages of his three mixed-blood granddaughters to English and Scotch colonists his legacy has resulted in a heritage to those who trace their roots to a man who left his country for a new life in America three hundred years ago.
