When Anne Ammundsen decided to pursue her family history, an extraordinary story on her maternal line dropped into her lap. She soon found herself up against George Washington's account of the 1782 "Asgill Affair"; but with the discovery of a hitherto unknown letter by British officer Charles Asgill, written two and a half centuries earlier, she knew that her life's purpose was to challenge the records, and set them straight. She has had several articles published, but this book gives her the opportunity to cover the wider story.George Washington's reputation meant a lot to him, and he went to great lengths to preserve it for posterity. Unfortunately, he did so at the expense of the reputation of a young British officer, who has been regarded as a scoundrel ever since. Washington could not have known that Charles Asgill's descendant would turn up to ensure the reputation of this officer was restored, by using primary sources to set the record straight. As will be seen on the pages of this book, Asgill honoured his family motto: Sui Oblitus Commodi (regardless of his own interests). And, as Washington once wrote: Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light.Numerous illustrations, nine appendices, a bibliography, and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.

The Channel Islands, primarily Guernsey and Jersey, contributed greatly to the influx of immigrants to the American colonies and the young United States, but the Island emigrants generally receive little attention from genealogists as a distinct ethnic group. In the beginning, they contributed important fishing and ship-building skills, but now their descendants are found in all walks of life. They were so numerous, and so widely dispersed among the colonies, that it is probably safe to say that most American families, that have been here for three or four generations, have some roots in the Channel Islands. This work contains interesting and useful background information on the Islands and Islanders, including maps, lists of Island surnames by state, etc. The bulk of the work is a genealogical dictionary which identifies thousands of known (or probable) Channel Island immigrants to America, and some of their descendants. There is also a section with brief sketches of people well-known in American history who had Channel Island roots: Sir Edmund Andros, John Bertram (merchant), General Sir Isaac Brock, the Cabots of Boston, Sir George Carteret, Buffalo Bill Cody, Philippe Langlois (Phillip English), Deming Jarves, Lillie Langtry, William N. Le Page (remember his glue?), John Wesley Masury (paint manufacturer), Nathaniel Messerve (ship builder), Paul Revere, Henry David Thoreau. This is a reprint of the 1984 edition, updated with six pages of corrections and additions.(1983), 2007, 51/2x81/2, cloth, 748 pp
