This intriguing study introduces multi-generations of males as they were affected by travels and adventures. First the patriarchs set the framework for those who followed. Then insider tales illuminate how the hearts and souls of these modern- day males live out their heritage mantas from childhood to the future land where little is known. This tome addresses the lives and contribution of the men in our families, a companion to Spirited Sisters (2014) which introduced the outstanding women who carried the Vassar-Burgess heritage from generation to generation.
This tome begins with the results of genetic testing, leading to pre-historic male roots. It then turns to known historical connections, following which it deals with more recent and contemporary leading men. It is rich with primary materials, including numerous poems, letters, remembrances, and a wide variety of adventures. No longer are they untold legacies for the men have spoken!
