About this book
Summary
The currents that carried my family to the shores of Florida are as complex and layered as the history of this vibrant, often contradictory state. My journey into the heart of this narrative began not with a singular, dramatic revelation, but with a slow, insistent unfolding of ancestral echoes. From the windswept coasts of Ireland and Scotland, a lineage of resilience and quiet determination made its way across the Atlantic, seeking new horizons and the promise of a life unburdened by the oppressions of the old world. This book is an exploration of those currents, tracing the threads that connect generations, from the earliest settlers in St. Augustine, whose lives were shaped by the clash of empires and the enduring power of faith, to the pioneers who forged a life in the rugged landscape of nascent Jacksonville.Book information
