One Family's Journey Through Time

Sit a spell on the Tidwell front porch as author and historian Jerry Tidwell shares treasured stories, photographs and recipes gleaned from a lifetime association with and love for old timers. Six generations of family history are chronicled within this volume, beginning in 1845 with the birth of family patriarch, Richard T. Tidwell.

Although this story could have taken place anywhere among the trail of immigrants from Pennsylvania down through the Appalachians into Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia, One Family's Journey through Time is the story of the Tidwell family's struggles and triumphs in North Alabama. One only has to change the names of the characters in this story to those of his ancestors to make this book relevant to their own family's journey through time across frontier America.

With great attention to detail and candid humor, Mr. Tidwell's book, One Family's Journey through Time, preserves the rich heritage of his ancestors for future generations.
