This is the most important book on the struggle for liberty that will likely ever be written, given that Ric Murphy illuminates his own multi-generational family in a continuous line, from Jamestown to Your Town. Could there be another? The magnitude of this family’s engagement with the implements of liberty and justice will rock whatever foundations upon which American history had been constructed since books began being written about the Revolutionary War and freedom. With an abiding love for America, this family applied a formula of patience and service to make real the promise of the Declaration of Independence. The survival of America depends on the strength of our bonds. This book will help us avoid the detours and backsliding and stay on Freedom Road.
