Belinda Atwater Foster,Lucy Atwater Brown,Marcia Parrish Rhodes

Family Memoirs: Atwater, Butler And Brown is a book written by Belinda Atwater Foster that explores the history and personal stories of three families: the Atwaters, the Butlers, and the Browns. The book is a collection of memoirs, anecdotes, and family history that spans generations and provides a unique insight into the lives of these families.The book begins with the Atwater family, tracing their roots back to the early 1800s in Connecticut. The family's journey takes them across the United States, from Connecticut to Ohio, and eventually to California. Along the way, they face challenges such as war, financial struggles, and personal tragedies, but they also experience triumphs and joys.The Butler family is introduced next, with a focus on their history in the South. The Butlers were a prominent family in Louisiana, and their story is one of wealth, privilege, and tragedy. The book explores the family's involvement in the Civil War, their struggles during Reconstruction, and their eventual decline.Finally, the book turns to the Brown family, who are African American and originally from the South. The Browns' story is one of resilience and perseverance in the face of racism and discrimination. The book explores their journey from the South to the North, their experiences during the Civil Rights Movement, and their continued fight for equality.Throughout the book, Foster weaves together the stories of these three families, highlighting their similarities and differences. She also provides historical context and background information to help readers understand the broader social and political climate of the times. Family Memoirs: Atwater, Butler And Brown is a fascinating and engaging read that offers a unique perspective on American history and the lives of ordinary people.Also Compiled By Lewis Brown.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
