The Life of Job Wigley, Sr. and His Descendents
Having a unique and interesting surname such as “Wigley” was sometimes embarrassing to me when I was very young because it was so easy for people to make fun of the name. However, in later years, I found an unusual name to be quite convenient when I began to do genealogical research. Through immigration, the Wigley name has been propagated throughout the English speaking world. Today, over 4,000 Wigley families live in the United States, and almost 3,000 families remain in England. Other concentrations are located in Australia, Wales, Canada, and New Zealand. This book starts at the beginnings of the Wigley name in England, then focuses primarily on one of the Wigley families who immigrated to the New World as part of British colonization: specifically Job Wigley and his descendants, who came to Westmoreland County in the Northern Neck of Virginia, shortly before the Revolutionary War.

Whenever the name Boone is mentioned, the public
immediately thinks of the name “Daniel Boone”, and
associates it with exploration of unknown territory
by an early American frontiersman. However, Daniel was
not the only Boone who helped push the American frontier
from sea to shining sea. There seemed to be a natural
proclivity for exploration in the Boone family. They
were typically among the first to move into new regions
in search of land, adventure, and personal freedom. This
book traces the life of one of those “other” Boones,
Hezekiah Boone, son of George Boone IV, and the cousin
of Daniel Boone. In only two generations, Hezekiah and
his son Mordecai Boone moved their families from
Pennsylvania, through multiple locations in Virginia,
to Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and
finally to Texas, where many of their descendents
remain. Affiliated family lines of Wigley, Burt, McGee,
Adams, Lane, Altizer, McGregor, Gibbons, Bustinza, and
Cavazos are also included.

To an American public opinion, anchored in the belief
that Islam is all Arab, “Understanding Islam - The
Persian Imprint” demonstrates it to be off the mark.
The truth is that Iran (the Persia of old) fractured
Islam’s identity twice: causing it to be non Arab,
first; and provoking its schism later.
Further, the World identifies Islamic Men of Science,
and their stellar achievements, as Arab whereas, in
fact, they were all Persian and Turkomen.
A book whose time has come.

Eight men served as President of the United States
between Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln and all
eight have been forgotten. William Henry Harrison and
John Tyler are two of them. Harrison only served a
month in office and Tyler died as a member of the

historical reputations. But no presidency has been
irrelevant in American History and Harrison and Tyler
have a story to tell. This book brings their ignored
presidencies to life.

Michael John Fitzgerald - From Immigrant to Officer in the Indian Fighting Army
The story of Michael Fitzgerald is the story of a
nine-year-old Irish boy who traveled across the Atlantic
without his parents to live in the slums of Baltimore.
At the age of seventeen, young Michael enlisted in the
Army at Fort McHenry and began a military life that
would take him to key areas of America’s growth. He
was a young Army private in the Artillery sloshing
through the Florida Everglades in the Third Seminole
War. He and his family were held prisoners by the
rebellious mob in Charleston, South Carolina after Major
Anderson fled with the folks at Fort Moultrie to Fort
Sumter. For his efforts as a field medic he became a
hospital steward and helped care for the thousands of
men wounded and killed at Antietam. For his actions in
Frederick during this time he became a commissioned
officer, serving on the West Coast and the Great Plains.
During his career he married four wives, the first two
in the frontier wilderness.
Michael Fitzgerald was a witness and participant in
American History. This book follows Michael’s life and
directs our attention to how and where his life
intersected with the making of America.

Like every American president, Andrew Jackson’s legacy
is up for debate. In this book I try to put aside
personal bias and preconceived notions to give a fair
look at Jackson’s eight turbulent years in the White
House. In doing so I found there were two different
Jacksons. There was the traditional Jackson who won the
Bank War and thwarted nullification and then there was
the unsure and sensitive Jackson who craved friendship
and loyalty. Historians have described Jackson as
everything from a criminal dictator to heroic patriot.
I’ll let you judge where the truth lies.

Come to the Catskills for three days of peace and music.
That’s how the Woodstock Festival was advertised to sell
tickets.
What the promoter expected was a crowd of 10,000 to
50,000 people. But what came to Woodstock was not what
they expected. A crowd of more than 500,000 people
showed up. This book is a behind the scenes look at
what went on at the Woodstock ‘69 Festival.
