This work traces the lines of descent from Charles Goldsborough and Ruth Redfearn. Theirs was a love story that took them West when Charles' aristocratic Maryland family disapproved of his English bride, the daughter of a lead miner.

Descendants represent a wide cross-section of American life. They were farmers, miners, prospectors and homemakers, as well as company presidents, military officers and famous aviators.

The book represents over four years of intense, documented research. It contains more than 200 photographs and illustrations. Plus there is a photo quiz!

All lines of descent have been followed, not just the Goldsborough name. Other family surnames include Alderson, Barager, Boss, Currer, Hill, Laity, Merrill, Premo, Sowby, Squires, Van Every, Vivers, White and many more.
