These three volumes, as well as four other books written by these authors, represent the accumulation of sixteen years of detailed and extensive research work.While all three volumes of This Too Shall Pass . . . contain broad and expansive information about hundreds of family surnames and relatives who lived in western North Carolina from the early pioneer days of the 1700s up to the 1940s, the main focus of Volume II is an in-depth study of the Walker, Covington, Rollins, and Smart family members of Rutherford and Cleveland Counties, complete with revealing personal sketches, intriguing family histories, nostalgic photographs, and extended ancestral lineages. Volume II of the This Too Shall Pass trilogy traces our pioneer ancestor's journey into western North Carolina by the Great Wagon Road, and sheds light on the struggles and conditions they faced while settling in a land of dense forest, wild animals, and Native American Indians. Volume II also includes the story of the Revolutionary War Battle at Moores Creek Bridge, the Covington family involvement, and a tribute page to John Grady, "An American Patriot."
