"This Jackson family exposition is curated for Poppa's grandchildren to share with their own families. It begins with the stories of his parents in the 19th century, and ends (although it never really ends) in the birth-year of his great-grandchildren in 2020. George originally told and wrote these stories for his three children. In actuality, these are stories were written for all of his descendants -- those living and those still to come. Woven throughout are the legends and stories of his past -- stories and legends which make a life well-lived."-- Back cover.
