Resurrected Memories The Story of a Lifetime

Beginning with the death of Abel Herman in a Civil War prison camp in 1864, memories are resurrected by his great, great grandson. From despair inside this prison camp to the passionate hope for a family that almost never happened, more than one hundred years later, memories come alive on every page. Focusing primarily on the decades of the 1940s, '50s and '60s in the rolling foothills of western North Carolina, encounters with people and places long lost and forgotten are brought to life again. From youth to young adulthood, memories containing danger, humor and a sense of honor are relived in family lifestyles that occurred in a safe and more secure time period, all contributing to Resurrected Memories The Story of a Lifetime.
