Following my family tree has revealed some very interesting historical figures. A cousin of mine, Harriet Beecher-Stowe, wrote the book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Sales of the book were second only to the bible in the 19th century. The impact of the book was significant. The impact was summed up by Abraham Lincoln when he met Stowe, "So you're the little lady who wrote the book that started this great war."

This has a really nice look Greg your softnesswith the contrasting sharpness of your lines, really defind the charactor of a strong yet sensitive woman. I also have an author in my family, however not nearly as famous. Seems that when they found me, the note read " GOOD LUCK WITH THIS ONE "Chas Sinklier 16 Mar 2007
