The Westward Sagas tell the story of the Mitchell family’s 100-year odyssey west from Pennsylvania to Texas. In Adam’s Daughters: Book 2, Peggy Mitchell, a survivor of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, grows up in Jonesborough, Tennessee during the tumultuous first twenty years of the nation’s existence. Though haunted by memories of war, she matures into strong, independent young woman who is courted by Andrew Jackson and who has a freed slave as her best friend. Her younger brothers and sisters become her surrogate children and students. Together the children of Adam and Elizabeth take on renegade Indians, highwaymen, and the hardships of an untamed land.

Reviews

“Eye-opening and heart-rending, Adam’s Daughters is both a historical and literary jewel not to be missed.” ~ Renee Washburn, Apex Reviews (rated 5 stars)

“Just back in from a glorious weekend spent unwinding (camping)….. Spent a good slug of this time lying on the grass next to a babbling brook, reading and enjoying Adam’s Daughters.  An excellent read—it really has been a blissful weekend! My congrats to the author.” ~ Advocate Dave Mitchell, Cape Town, South Africa; Dave also wrote a 5-star review for Adam’s Daughters at Amazon.com

“I just finished Adam’s Daughters and found it to be a great book and a very intriguing story that keeps one looking for the next chapter to see what is going to happen. Put me down for the third book in the series.” ~ Col. Harry Long, Retired AF Veteran of WWII

“I have so enjoyed Bowles’ two books. They combine genealogy with references to the History of the United States that is both easy to read and instructive. … The book is full of accounts of the daily routine of life in Jonesborough during the early years after statehood. It weaves historical characters like Andrew Jackson into the lives of ordinary residents. The combination is a winning formula.” ~ John L. Kiener, “Digging for Your Roots” from the Jonesborough Genealogical Society, Herald & Tribune

“There was a great deal of realism in this book. What was most interesting to me was the issue of race. Peggy’s trail master was a Black man (Daniel).” ~ Bluestocking, The Bluestocking Guide (rated LI-Like it)
