Description
Imagine Finding Your Roots, Roots Less Traveled, and Who Do You Think You Are presented in a book format.
The Buster Clan: An American Saga does exactly that. It unfolds a trajectory of United States’ events through a collection of Buster narratives and archives, adding authentic and freshly told stories about the American experience.
Buster is an Americanism. It is as good and stereotyped as apple pie. Within these hefty histories are smaller sagas where lives were personally affected by how history played out.
The Busters were, like all things American, pioneers. They began as farmers and slave owners. While being a part of the benefits and consequences of Manifest Destiny, they headed out to Texas, California, and Colorado before the consolidation of the Pacific Railroad and shortly after the gold rushes.
They fought in all American wars, and yes, did family combat on opposing sides of the Civil War. Although once divided, unification prevailed under the Reconstruction of the South, for those who had stayed in the South.
They became entrepreneurs, politicians, bureaucrats, sheriffs, ranchers, teachers, writers, and actors. They were murdered and committed murder. They gambled, embezzled, and served their communities. Touching on social and political themes such as identity, westward expansion, slavery, wars, human rights, technology and Hollywood, readers of history will experience new stories revealed outside of a traditional outline. Instead of focusing on one person in a biography, many people are featured with mini-biographies; more like an anthology of biographies.
The Buster Clan is a quintessential portfolio of histories that embodies American resolve.
Advance Praise
"The reputation of Buster has an alluring history in itself, indisputably so. It's a marvelous read, entertaining as well as educational, and certainly 'busts' through stereotypes!"-- The Buster Genealogy Blog
