Description This book won FIRST PLACE in the Inspiration and Spiritual category for 2017 and also received a Five Star rating from Indi Reader.
In 2014, James Harman made a fascinating discovery thanks to some of his cousins: his great-grandfather Robert Slothower had written a life-story manuscript.
The legacy of his words, passed down from generation to generation, is presented here by his great-grandson James Harman (Jay).
This book, the cautiously edited and illustrated version of that manuscript, represents a challenging life met with great courage.
The son and grandson of Civil War soldiers who fought on the Union side, Robert Slothower clearly inherited the strength of a bygone era.
As a boy in Kansas he was separated from the rest of the family for seven years, then finally was reunited with them in Denver.
Farming, homesteading, and painful lessons of loss are part of Robert Slothower's life.
The pain of losing his young wife and their first two babies on the remote Wyoming homestead is overwhelming, but Robert Slothower overcomes adversity and rebuilds his life.
An emerging relationship with God, along with a new life out west, takes Robert Slothower and his family from the Kansas Prairie to the Pacific Northwest.
Plains to the Pacific, a historical narrative, reminds us that life was not always so easy, but from great trials can emerge great joy.
James Harman moves the reader from his great-grandfather's fascinating narrative to a historical section that includes many photographs of Wyoming, past and current.
Photographs of his great-grandfather and the family--including Robert Slothower's triplets --bring the family to life.
