| This is the inspiring true story of Sylvia
Catheryn Folger Archer, a descendant of the
famous Clark brothers William and George
Rogers, pioneer explorers and Revolutionary
War heroes, and Betty Zane, heroine of the
Fort Henry siege of 1782. A widowed
mother of nine in rural West Virginia in the
early 1900s, redheaded Sylvia was the very
embodiment of womanly strength,
perseverance, and courage.
Born one of ten children in 1906 on Pursley
Hollow, a narrow mud road four miles south
of Sistersville, West Virginia, Sylvia's
loving family provided her with a happy
childhood. But after her marriage at the age
of nineteen to Arthur Daniel Archer, Sylvia
experienced countless trials, including her
own near-death experience, the loss of her
husband to a brain tumor, the stroke of a
daughter, the tragic death of a daughter and
grandson and her own battle with cancer. A
true survivor, Sylvia lived to see each of her
children graduate from high school and
happily marry.
Drawing upon meticulous research into
family records, Sylvia's son Elliott Archer
pays tribute to his mother in this triumphant
portrait of one American woman's
unwavering morals, exemplary work ethic,
absolute pride in motherhood, and selfless
sacrifice for her beloved family. |
