The book is well-written and reminds that this sort of record is critical for those who want to know and pass down their family's heritage more fully. The annexed "annals" exhibit a family vivid with the energy of a young community, and entering into all the details of its civic and military life with intelligence and ardor. The Scotch Johnstons, sons of the mist and the morass, have left the modest opinion of their own tenacity in a stanza of an old Scotch ballad...."Within the bounds of Annandale,The gentle Johnstons ride:They have been here a thousand years.And a thousand more they'll bide."
