The Quiet Patriarch, the Life of James A. Newbery
by Sue Simonich available on Amazon.com June 2022.
From the early seventeenth century the Native people of North America fought for physical and cultural survival amid mounting pressures from European immigrants invading their shores.
Their lives changed in unimaginable ways. For two centuries the only choice for many was to meld with other tribes, or flex and blend with the newcomer’s religion, laws and whims.
In the nineteenth century, descendants of eastern seaboard tribes engaged in a movement they believed would
reinstate their former autonomy. This is the story of one family, who joined the ecclesiastical society of the LDS church in its earliest and formative years.
