This second volume emphasizes colonial and early American history for the families Baughman, Layman, Moyer, Huff and others, particularly in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

"This six-book series contains a wealth of historical detail about many Anabaptist-rooted families of Canton Zürich, Switzerland. Baughman brings historical stories to life that have been buried for centuries. In doing so, his amazing drawings, maps, and ancient images enrich the narratives, making lasting impressions on the readers' minds. Ross' books paved the way for me as I researched the Swiss and Rhineland-German history of my Anabaptist Hiestand family, from Europe and all the way to their settlements in early America." - Wayne Haston, Ph.D. 

In a response to the second volume Harvest Time, the historian Lynn Morrow added in his 1999 book The White River Chronicles of S. C. Turnbo, “Baughman has written... family history books of model quality, and each of which have informed this volume.”

Each volume was written to stand alone, and will be offered individually as described here, or as a complete set with a 20 percent discount.
