This is the story of the descendants of Bartholomaeus Zant, who migrated to Georgia in 1734 with a group known as the Salzburgers. The story starts in the early 1700s and follows the family through the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, until 1900. It is written in a narrative, story-like format that goes beyond facts and attempts to give you a glimpse into the character of the ancestors of the Zant family.
