About This Item
Monmouth, Illinois: Kellog Publishing Company, 2000. [First Edition]. Hardcover. Near fine. 8vo., original blue cloth, 300 pp., maps. Clean, bright and tight. -- Short gift inscription on the title page. -- Signed by the Author. -- Condition. "In 1640 John Prescott emigrated from England to the Colony of Massachusetts. A few years later, in 1665, a cousin, James Prescott, followed suit and settled in Hampton, New Hampshire. The writer, on his mother's side and hs family are descendants of James Prescott. The family of Prescotts that figures in this novel are likewise descendants of James Prescott. The author's paternal grandfather came to this country from Vaasa, Finland in 1884 or 1885, settling in Coos Bay, Oregon. He changed his name from Henric Bengtas to Henry Johnson, in deference to his new life in America. In the spring of 1919, my father, John Edward Johnson, married Caroline Prescott Eaton, my mother, whose grandmother was Caroline M. Prescott. The Saxon lineage, long established in this country, was thus united with a newer lineage, the Scandinavian. This was but a part of the blending of peoples and nations that has contributed to the American character."-foreword.
