My Book

Good news, friends.

My book, The William E. "Bill" Davidson Family - The Life and Times of a Centenarian and His Family, is finally published.  It was published by BookSurge Publishing Company, Charleston, South Carolina.  It is available for purchase on www.amazon.com for anyone that wants to buy one.  Click on"Books" then enter "Donald G. Davidson" in the search frame, then click on the "Search" button.  An image of the cover will appear on screen with a brief description of the contents.  A photo of me and a picture of the Davidson Family Crest appears on the back cover.  The back cover reads:

The author, Donald G. "Don" Davidson at age 40 became the self-appointed family genealogist and historian.  Over the next 30 years he accumulated a wealth of genealogical and historical material on his family,  the William E. "Bill" Davidson Family.  Much of this material was in the form of old letters, diaries, bibles and personal account stories that had become a part of the family folklore.  The author's father, Bill, was a great story teller.  He told stories right up until a few days before his death at age 104 years.  Many of his stories and accounts of his life which spanned the entire 20th Century are incorporated in this book.  The book also includes accounts from the diaries of the author, his mother, and his siblings.  As the author approached age 75 and with his own mortality looming on the near horizon he decided he had better get busy and organize the material into a book to be preserved for future generations, else it would all be lost to posterity.  Thus, the endeavor to write this book.  It took about five years to organize and write the manuscript then find a suitable publisher.  A daunting task for a novice.  This is the only book he has written.  What it lacks in professionalism is compensated by a labor of love for his family and future generations.
