Skeet Apples Nellie Mae Batson

In Swinson we followed the Swinson clan from Scotland to Ireland, and after their Atlantic crossing to the eastern North Carolina community of Maple Hill. There we watched in amazement as the clan acclimated to the lowlands, prospered and multiplied. They were a tough, proud bunch of farmers. Swinson ended with the third generation in place; still proud, still hard working, prolific and occasionally erupting in country folk mini-feuds. Skeet Apples begins where Swinson left off and follows the Swinson family into the twentieth century, still proud, still prolific and still the center of the reader's attention.
