Weldons

The Weldons is a fictional biography book about a man and his two sons who travel through the hostile Indian country of Texas and Oklahoma in the early 1900s. Hunting for a gold mine in Colorado, they flee from a smallpox epidemic and then return home to Steiner Valley, Texas. Next, Jonathan Weldon, his wife, three daughters and two boys travel by horse and wagon to homestead three-hundred-sixty acres in New Mexico. They live there eleven years in a hand-built dugout from 1908 to 1919. The number of people in this family eventually became eleven. There were two boys and seven girls plus the mother and father. Three of the girls were born while living in their dugout. Life was very hard but they were a loving, close-knit family.Williamson, Bob is the author of 'Weldons', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413743869 and ISBN 1413743862.
