THE MARK FAMILY HISTORY
Emma Mark began her research into the family's history in November of 1924 and began writing the manuscript in 1945. She had not yet completed the work when she died in 1950. After her death, her manuscript was compiled, bound and fifty copies distributed to family members. Now, her work has been reorganized, rewritten and professionally published and is available to anyone in a handsome hardbound cover.
Follow the family from Joseph Mark of the first generation, arriving in America from Holland in 1732, to the eighth generation; the generation of the editor and publisher of this book.
You will read of the exploits of the Mark Family during Americas wars. From the Battle of the Brandywine to Barddocks Defeat in the French and Indians War; they were Patriots in the War of Independence and Soldiers, Sailors and Marines in the Spanish American War and World Wars I and II. Follow the exploits of Benjamin Mark from his joining the Union Army as a lad of 18, to his mission to exchange Confederate Prisoners for Union Prisoners at City Point, Virginia in 1863. March with Benjamin Mark as he fought, at times barefooted, in the Civil War. You will feel a part of Ben's 23rd Missouri Regiment as they scavenged for their food and laid Siege to Atlanta. You will be amazed at the accounts of how the colonists lived, and you will read first hand accounts of how the pioneers of Iowa and Missouri survived and thrived with nothing more that their wits and hard work. They were true pioneers, happy go lucky, no worries, every day sufficient unto itself.
Glimpse into the 19th Century when Emma explains—but not complains—that "the finances of that [school] district were not sufficient to hire a competent man teacher, so I was hired at $22.00 a month."
You are invited to watch a short video about THE MARK FAMILY HISTORY which will tell you a little more about the book.
