Book excerpt: The American Odyssey of the Coleman brothers, all from England, began in 1637 with the arrival of Robert Coleman. Robert was named as one of forty headrights of Colonel William Farrar II. While some 1,932 descendants and related family members of Robert Coleman are included in this book, those in the states of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina are particularly highlighted. The author's objective is to help the reader develop insights into the soul and the day-to-day life of Coleman family members. The hundreds of family member photographs add much to these insights since "the eyes are the windows to the soul". In addition, since the soul of architecture is closely integrated with the souls of the inhabitants who interact within the space they occupy, the pictures of Coleman family homes are likewise "windows to the soul". Lastly, it was once said that, "Purity of writing is purity of the soul". Thus, the handwriting samples in this book add to the reader's understanding of the Coleman soul."Family genealogical histories can range from fanciful collections of myth and supposition to detailed works of historic research. James M Coleman's book is clearly in the latter category" as per Robert P. Winthrop, a partner at Winthrop, Jenkins, and Associates, a Virginia based architecture firm specializing in historic renovation. Historic buildings have been Mr. Winthrop's focus in numerous writings and lectures.
