From bee-keepers to bankers, entrepreneurial congressmen to dabblers in baseball, this is the story of the millionaires who brought the Gilded Age to the pristine countryside of 19th century Wyncote.

Of the 16th President of the United States and of his leadership during our nation’s greatest crisis, the question has been raised: Was Abraham Lincoln’s use of the Bible, his references to God, and his talk of divine purpose merely a scheming politician’s attempt to win votes and hold favor; or was it a genuine expression of the deeply-personal and humbly-guided faith of one who knew that he and his nation needed God and must rely upon God? This book seeks to answer that question.

Enjoy the heartwarming adventures of a large family. Join several generations as they live, work, and play in rural southwest Virginia during the first half of the twentieth century.
