E pluribus unum. Out of many, one. This unique family history and genealogy also speaks to the current partisan divisions in America and serves as a timely reminder of our collective capacity for both tyranny and compassion as well as our ability to resist the baser instincts in ourselves and others - to "stake everything on a formidable gamble that words are more powerful than munitions" (Albert Camus, "Neither Victims Nor Executioners"). The German Kühner (Knörr, Köener) surname is a derivative of Kühn and has been anglicized in a variety of ways including Keener, Kenner, and Kunner. Like the related English word keen (keener, keenest), the German kühn is ultimately derived from the Proto-Indo-European ǵenə- or ǵnō- (“to know”).
In this concise narrative with extensive references and supplemental online content, you will get to know nine generations of residents of the Catawba River Valley in North Carolina. But you will also be encouraged to reflect on our common humanity and embrace our rich diversity. In just over 10,000 words (a sixty minute read), the author uncovers a quarter millennium of genealogy and local history associated with his family while embracing an expansive vision of religious tolerance that “should motivate readers to examine their own values and better prepare them for the challenges facing their family, nation, and planet” (William Gay, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at UNC Charlotte).

Who knows why the geese go barefoot? edition by Wilhelm Kühner Politics Social Sciences eBooks
I am a fellow North Carolinian with relatives connected with the Battle of Ramsour's Mill, so for me this was an especially interesting narrative about one family's experience. However, I think for anyone it gives a good picture of what the social forces were for those families facing a choice between remaining in Europe or heading to the British colonies, allegiance to the British Crown, an allegiance all were expected to uphold, and a decision to join the ranks of the patriots. Those decisions, Loyalist or rebel ("Patriot" would not have applied if the Loyalists won!), Unionist or Confederate, were life and death decisions at that time. May our current divisions not be so dire. I found it a delightful read.Product details

The author dives into his families past and finds uncanny relevance to the issues we are facing today. I am looking forward to future editions as he continues his search.
