ROBERTSON is listed in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the world and described as an “industrialist adventurer” familiar with many places on six continents and 170 plus countries. However, he will always return to his hometown and county. Joe’s family once owned the farm on Huff Creek in Jackson County, Indiana where much of the history-based fi ction in the book took place. Joe has called Jackson County and the Huff Creek Watershed home all of his life and has six generations of local genealogy to substantiate his knowledge of the people and events that contributed to the migration of millions and realization of Manifest Destiny.
PEGGY ROBISON has previous writing experience with Robertson. She too calls the beautiful Huff Creek Valley “home.” Both she and her husband were born and raised in Jackson County. Appreciating life in a small town, they chose to raise their four children in Brownstown, and it remains the family’s home base. Robison has a deep regard for the history of Indiana and a devotion to keeping the stories of the past alive so that people can understand the events that have made us who we are today.view less
