Welcome to an important part of history, "Another Making of America."  A book that is a culmination of many years of extensive research.  Stories and events that span numerous generations and tells about life in the early 1800's.  You will learn about the struggles and prosperity of the early settlers that built America.  It was a different time then; it truly was another making of America.
The book was written by me, Galen Rezac.  The research on my own family heritage inspired me to write this book so that others could learn from the valuable information that I have discovered.  My dedication and desire to learn from my ancestors and their experiences is what gave me the strength and direction to complete this book.  Events that happened many years ago but have not yet been forgotten.  Their stories need to be told; their lives need to be remembered.
The book has 11 chapters and contains 883 pages.  I invite you to preview the chapters by clicking on their Preview buttons below.  I welcome feedback including corrections and historical contributions by emailing me on my contact form.  I hope you enjoy your visit.
