STEVE SMITH’s, A Guide to Fire Drills, was a must read for his teaching staff after their middle school burned to the ground. Yep. That happened. His first attempt at writing family history, My Father’s Tree, detailed his Smith family history. He then attempted the impossible: researching and writing the history of his wife’s family. This book, Whit’s End is the end result. Ending a thirty-five year effort to detail his son’s family tree.
The book began, as noted in the Book Talk Interview, as pedigree charts strewn across a table top, wall and floor, on butcher paper. It ends up as a trilogy, strewn across the internet and available online at Amazon.
