“The Perry Family in America” chronicles the journey of the Perry family as they navigate life as pioneers in the New World, beginning with Sarah Perry and her children in the 1640s. Aseph Perry, a descendant of Ezra Perry, faced significant challenges, including droughts, plagues, and encounters with infamous outlaws like Jesse James. Despite these adversities, the family thrived in the Nebraska prairie, showcasing their resilience and resourcefulness. The narrative also captures the harsh realities of early pioneer life, including limited resources and interactions with Native Americans. By the late 1800s, Grandma and Grandpa Perry epitomized the pioneering spirit, enduring a rugged lifestyle while contributing to railroad construction and caring for their large family. Their legacy continues through their descendants, many of whom settled in Wisconsin, embodying the essence of perseverance and adventure characteristic of early American pioneers.
