Synopsis

"The Americans" contains 13 short stories about the adventures and personal struggles of Americans involved in the founding and building of their great nation.

The tales describe the personal achievements of men and women who left their known worlds to travel to America to contribute their skills, sweat, blood, and, sometimes, their lives to create productive lives for themselves and their families.

The McKinneys emigrated from Scotland to Ireland and then to the Colonies and westward through the Allegheny Mountains where some stopped and put down roots. Others in the prolific clans moved into Indiana, Missouri, and Texas and beyond.

They were joined in their adventures by neighbors from the eastern mountains as they fought against foreign powers, hostile Indians, and lawbreakers.

The lives of Youngers, Creagers, Lomaxes, and others combined their personal stories to create a collection of personal struggles, triumphs, and failures that drove and led America into growth and world leadership of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The great events recorded in American history were not abstract historical happenings but part of the daily lives of our ancestors featured in "The Americans."
