This is the autobiography of Charles Franklin Gill, Jr. beginning in 1835 when the Gills and Haynes arrived in Richwood, Ohio and played a major role in the establishment and administration of the community. It continues with the arrival of the Foxes and LeMasters from West Virginia and the union of those two families. My story tells of my birth, childhood, moving to Reno, Nevada, college, Vietnam, and later my life in Saratoga, California as a businessman. I have included an extensive appendix containing articles in the Union County History archives and family trees of the Gills, Haynes, Foxes and LeMasters families. Part I is largely historical. I have attempted to make it readable with lots of photos. Part II is my story and I will let it speak for itself. These anecdotes and stories are derived from the sources stated in the appendixes as well as my own life experiences.
Pyne traces the impact of fire in Australia, from its influence on vegetation to its use by Aborigines and European settlers.“Mr. Pyne, showing what a historian deeply schooled in environmental science can contribute to our awareness of nature and culture, has produced a provocative work that is a major contribution to the literature of environmental studies.”—New York Times Book Review
Can you imagine what your ancestors were doing over four hundred years ago? Perhaps they were important people; perhaps their actions had a bearing on a significant historical event. Charles Gill has traced his family that far back, and with a wonderful mix of historical fact and informed fiction, he has brought back to life ancestors who were previously just names in a register. Join Alecka as she starts a new life in 16th century France, where one of her children gets inadvertently involved with royalty. Re-live Abraham s adventures in the Caribbean on his way to settling in America. Follow Abraham s descendents as they struggle with the challenges of a new country. All through the ages, the family is followed by a painting of a young man. The origins of the painting are lost along the way, but it always seems as if the young man is watching over them and making sure the debt he owes his long forgotten savior is repaid in full.
The Eels and Turtles of Lake Baccarat truly is the 'Song of the Otway'. Told in the narrative of a descendant of the original Otway Indians that inhabited this once remote corner of what is now Ohio, Charles Gill brings the story to life with wonderfully descriptive writing in a story spanning generations. Tragedy and upheaval befall the Otway as white settlers relentlessly move west, overrunning the land they call home. But what of the settlers themselves? What is their story? This is also told with compassion and understanding, showing that there was indeed tragedy on both sides. As the story flows through the ages, characters are born, grow, and eventually die, leaving their mark on the landscape and in the hearts of their loved ones. All except the mysterious 'Bag', who seems to be live through time, appearing as a guide to many along the way.
