Two Sacks: One Family's Journey from Swiss/Germany to America in 1803 - 1805 Paperback – 1 Dec. 2023

I love a book written about the author's own ancestors as this one was. It makes it so personal and complete. This story was written in detail, which I also enjoy. My only hope is that he is writing a second book continuing the story of the brothers and their journey!

I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the challenges facing my ancestors and others as they settled this country. While most of us have a rather general knowledge of the sacrifices the pioneers made, Jeff has made them very personal and inspiring. Although the story is partly fiction, it is based on reality. I was thoroughly engrossed in the story from the beginning but found it more and more intriguing as I made my way through the book. I'm left with a much deeper appreciation for my heritage as not only an American citizen, but also as an Ishee! Thank you, Jeff for the time, labor, and "heart" you invested in this project ! You have produced a treasure for our family and an exciting adventure for any reader who has an interest in our country's rich history.

This book, a work of fiction, is full of documented historical facts! The story is an interesting tale of the hardships our forefathers faced when they came to the new land. They came for liberty. The liberty to own land and to worship as they pleased!

What an amazing novel. I can picture my ancestors arriving in Philadelphia, then slowly moving to Pennsylvania, and Ohio. Different from the Ishee family….who went south to Mississippi. Great information for those who look “back”. Thank you Jeff Isher.

I have listened to the author for years and was interested in his family history.
