By Joseph T. Harrison

The Story of the "Dining Fork" brings us the history of the Harrisons of Harrison County, Ohio, their ancestry and descendants. John Harrison, his personal, religious, and political convictions, Puritan influence of his time, and a short sketch of English history. His first voyage to America was in 1814, later with written directions left for the family to follow him to America. We see his letters that reveal much of him, and letters from the family in England. We see California Gold excitement, the Harrison and Patterson family trees, and numerous illustrations throughout.
