Family Traits

How did a witness to the beheading of Charles I come to find himself an Indian Chief in Colonial Virginia? Read how three generations of troublemakers ran afoul of the Governor and their wives in a whimsical tale is based on historical events. Much of what seems to be nonsense actually happened to real people as related in the historical record. As for the parts that are pure invention-well, if you knew the Skipper family the way that I do, you wouldn't doubt them for a minute.
