General John Fulton Reynolds, of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was the
consummate tragic figure of war - the dashing young general on his
horse, leading his men into the fray - men with whom he shared a
mutual respect only felt when engaging in a higher purpose. His
final act on the Gettysburg stage was to choose the right ground to
defend and to place his men into position - decisions that
ultimately led to the union victory and his own fate. To do such a
great man justice, Sunbury Press and editor Lawrence Knorr have
compiled three great works by other authors: "For God Sakes Forward
" - Michael A Riley's biography. "Reynolds - The Last Six Miles" -
Diane E Watson's accounting of the final movements and moments in
the general's life. "Reynolds - His Own Words Before Gettysburg" -
Diane E Watson's collection of letters and quotes from and about
John Reynolds. In addition, Lawrence has added his own "Relations
of John Fulton Reynolds" - over 200 pages of Reynolds, Lefevre,
Ferree, Landis & Moore family history. In total, the life of
John Reynolds is shown from numerous perspectives and dimensions,
from his own accomplishments to lists of his extended family and
extensive relations. This book is 312 pages, indexed, with numerous
vintage photographs.
Dorothy Elaine Hackman Grace compiled the original version of "The
Hackman Story" in 1976 for her cousins, neices, nephews and
children. Lawrence Knorr was a recipient of one of these comb-bound
volumes, triggering his interest in genealogy and family history.
'Elaine' passed in 1999, and Lawrence has since updated the book
based on correspondence between the two and Lawrence's subsequent
research. This book details the history of the Hackman family,
Mennonites who emigrated from Ibersheim, near Worms, Germany, and
settled in Lancaster County near Lititz and Manheim. Much more than
just genealogical information, this book contains many anecdotes,
including early farm life, the first airplane and automobile seen
in Millport, near Manheim, life at Elizabethown College from the
30's to the 60's, and events at various Churches of the Brethren.
