In the writing of this book I have not only learned about the different generations of my Tanner family, but also about the history of our country of which they played a part. It is my hope that the reader will not just read about places, names, and dates in these various chapters, but will come away with the realization that they have learned about some of the history that has taken place over the past 360 years forward, some of which were not only about my Tanner family, but some of which may be their own.
