Synopsis "The Carolina Brattons: Courage, Honor, and Country Since 1766"
The Carolina Brattons is a family history that focuses on four extraordinary men and their families in one line of the Bratton family from South Carolina. It includes a Revolutionary War hero, a general in the American Civil War, a bishop of Mississippi, and an entrepreneur and philanthropist. The book is highly researched, full of historical details, and spans six generations. It also contains over fifty images and five appendixes. The reader will travel with the Brattons from Ireland to South Carolina, and then move with them to Tennessee, Mississippi, and to North Carolina, and will see how they made the best of their circumstances to become successful, not only by providing for their families but also by contributing to their communities and their states. This is an American success story of Scots-Irish emigrants who hoped for a better life--and found one. The Brattons are seen through the eyes of their times. There will be information about their social, economic, and political environments and personal stories of their triumphs and tragedies. There will be stories of relatives who were both famous and infamous. Common family themes will begin to emerge throughout the generations, including family strengths and connections, a love of the land and property ownership, and strong moral values. Honor, personal responsibility, patriotism, and faith in God are exemplified in every generation.
