Book Recommendation

Ballantyne: Hunted and Harried: A Tale of the Scottish Covenanters
Hunted and Harried by Ballantyne
We often count ourselves blessed that we have the heritage that we do...yet at the same time, we would be blessed with whatever heritage we had! We have mentioned before that we love to incorporate our own family history in teaching history..well this book has made it possible for us to do it again!
It is all about the Scottish Covenanters and their plight in Scotland! Our kids have a g.g.g grandfather on my side who is notated in church rolls as 'The Great Scottish Covenanter William Kendrick'.
This book also falls in line with our study of the Scottish Covenanters, which is also the theme of the coming CHEF conference next year! So enjoy this great book if you get the chance! You can buy it as Vision Forum or you can read it for free on Epub! Caution; I am reading this book aloud to the children as there are some descriptive parts that are graphic for young ones. Reader discretion advised...

We have been blessed to be able to include our family history in our homeschool as well. I'm related to Sgt. York. Yep, *that* Sgt. York! Fun to be able to identify with real people!
