YOURS ALWAYS provides a unique and intimate window into the lives of a Southern man, forced to rebuild his life after the Civil War, and a Northern woman with pedigree who fall in love. The story is principally told through their nearly 1500 letters, their diaries and related historical accounts, in this beautiful, 8-x-11-format, 705 page, showcase hardcover book. Their letters poignantly reveal their challenges and heartaches. The unprecedented volume of their first person testimony gives a new perspective on their world of more than 3 generations ago. And you will come to know how they expressed their love in closing every letter, "yours always".
About the Author
I am a retired CPA who has become increasingly interested in family history, especially as the prior generation leaves this world for their life's reward. My master's degrees in Taxation and Finance served me through a material, accumulation, phase of my life but I am increasingly drawn to my earlier college education in Philosophy and to the various immaterial wonders of human life. I hope to leave my wife and children with more than just some papers and an old CPA briefcase with my initials on it.
