Have you ever wondered about the people who shaped your existence? We all have billions of ancestors, but how much do we really know about our relatives? Come along on one family's journey from farms in Ireland and Germany to the skyscrapers of Chicago and the frozen woods of Presque Isle County. Witness great battles in Pennsylvania, miracles on 34th Street in New York City, and a Hollywood icon's visit to a tiny college in rural Michigan. Meet a one-armed lawyer, a one-legged scoundrel, and one ill-fated fox's head. Delight in the tales of a 6-year-old fish and a 90-year-old Tiger. Whether you are a Claus, a Murphy, or a family friend who appreciates a good story, enjoy this book of generational legends -- where almost everything is nearly 100% true, for the most part, except when it isn't!
