Pioneers, Patriots and Planters is a book about the history of the settlement of the South. It describes the immigration of a group of English pioneers - including the Woolfolk family - into Colonial Virginia and their journeys to settle the uncharted territories of Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. The book provides a unique approach to Southern history by combining a carefully-documented presentation of events taken from actual records of the history of the Woolfolk family, revealing insight into the personality and values of their ancestors, through the social-historical context within which the events occurred. The account yields a new understanding of the events leading to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the interaction of the cotton, tobacco, and slavery, and the plantation life of the early pioneers and patriots. 
Out of this group of pioneers arose the leaders of the colonies including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Zachary Taylor, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, Meriwether Lewis, and Robert E. Lee, both friends, neighbors -- and in many cases family -- of the Woolfolks. Pioneers, Patriots and Planters gives an across-the- fence view of the early events of American History.
