These books are a compilation of the information submitted by the members when they applied to join. The information ranges from family pictures, marriage, birth, death certificates and obituaries, to family stories about the trip by wagon across the plains, and to short stories about family members. The submissions were as varied as the families submitting them. Most of the families included in the books, settled in Siskiyou County, California. Readers who are interested in cultural history will find the books provide a real sense of time and place, and readers whose families are included in the books will find pictures and other information well organized and easy to read.
