About the Book

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives: The American Story is the first book in "The American Story" series. There are many biographies and accounts of individuals who fought in the Civil War, who went west to mine for silver, who piloted boats on the Erie Canal, who migrated west to become photographers, artists, historians, businessmen and adventurers. However, within these pages is the story of three men who, collectively, were all of these: William Sayre Gramesly, Charles Gramesly and Henry Gramesly, father and sons. The story begins in Palmyra, New York on the Erie Canal and takes the reader west to Illinois with exciting side trips through the Confederacy and the silver mines of Leadville, Colorado. It is an intriguing portrait of their endowment, our inheritance - the accounts of these ordinary men told through the journals and letters they left behind. It is a story of the intimate details of their lives and how those lives impacted the places where they lived, where they journeyed and where they died. They didn't yearn for a better life like many others, so much as they yearned for a different life. Nothing seemed to suit them for very long and they were the first to eagerly jump at the chance for something new and exciting that infused their soul with energy and satisfaction. Their story is truly The American Story.
About the Author: Richard Stickann was introduced to genealogy by his wife, Catherine and has been hooked on it ever since. He has published two novels and this is first biography/genealogical study. He grew up on the South Side of Chicago, went to school on the East Side and still has strong feelings for the town that was his home for his formative years. When he is not writing, he and his wife operate an alpaca farm in central Missouri. Catherine Reasor Stickann has been a listener and follower of family history since she was a child. She has studied genealogy since the 1960s and spent hours with her grandmother Marie looking through family ephemera as well photos, journals, letters and personal papers. She has found that by learning about her family, she has gained an insight into herself. This is her first book.
