its was good but im team CAL so i was disapponted that he was missing in parts of the book
My paperback copy is from 1969 originally published in 1945. About a Goodliffe family coming to this country from England in the early 1800's and making their way through a very new western frontier. I picked this book up because my daughter's great grandparents were a Goodliffe family who came to America through Canada then to New York State. Even though they didn't go west it was a book that told of a family in a new country and I could only imagine the hardships even in the mid 1800's. This book was a small beginning into my love of genealogy today and researching MY families. It's a good old fashioned story and if you can find it, read it.
a great addition to refuse to choose by barbara sher. i read them at about the same time. this one is a bit more general about having more than one interest, but provides even more advice about how to accomplish a lot when you want to do many different things. very positive and empowering as well as practical. i really like her treatment of the subject- like the guidance counselor or career advisor who tells you it is possible to do it all in a way that will still create financial security and happiness.
What's not to love? Cold war, Nazis, spies, hot dead German wives. I have a semi-complete library of his books now. Tempted to read them all just to say I have. What is the next obvious choice, besides Slaughter House, Cat's Cradle, or Breakfast of Champions? Recommendations?
