Review by aakshay1234 -- Unfaltering Trust by Roy Ziegler
Unfaltering trust by Roy Ziegler is a non-fiction that is profoundly entrenched in the near beginning of American history. The plot and ideas presented are quite absorbing and interesting, providing the reader knowledge and thrill about the American history. I appreciate how the author illustrated and converted such a difficult subject matter into the text that itself leaves you with more interesting facts and questions in your mind that forces you to read the next part of it.
This book contains 248-page, written in such a way that it fascinates me all the way through. Edward Fitz Randolph Jr. is an extremely impressive personality. He leaves England in 1630 for the freedom and opportunity and experiences how immense impact his descendants had on the establishment of advance America.
As the title suggests Unfaltering trust, this book describes the persistent faith and resilience of the Fitz Randolph family and their management in that period of time. Basically one can say that the story is about the Fitz Randolph Family’s contribution in the development and advancement of America. He was formerly settling in Plymouth Colony then he moves with his family members to New Jersey subsequent to the theocracy of Puritan denied Fitz’s every freedom. In 1669, Fitz became the origin family of New Jersey. Edward and his sons, who were farmers initially, became privileged leaders during the expansion of the province. Some members of Fitz family were Quaker, some also helped to establish Princeton University and others were heroes on the battlefield. Afterwards Fitz Randolphs became vanguards of the industrial revolution.
In twentieth century they became highly privileged. Four relatives of Fitz and his wife even became presidents of the United States. Mid-nineteenth century was transformed by Fitz family into a ten billion dollar corporation by the twenty first century.
Randolph was a hero at the battle of Paoli, in Philadelphia then a prominent entrepreneur after the Revolutionary war. His son Dr. Jacob Randolph was a brilliant surgeon succeeded Dr. Philip Syng Physick, “ Father of American Surgery” who was a chief surgeon and lecturer at Pennsylvania Hospital (the first hospital in the nation). Randolph’s daughters were the founder members of Association of Women for the Relief and employment for the poor (country’s first job training).
Thousands of Pilgrims migrated to the New World in search of religious freedom and opportunities during 17th century. The story of Fitz becomes an inspiration for the migrants, pilgrims and refugees in America even today.
So in short, this book focuses on nine generations of Fitz Randolph’s family beginning from colonial times to the Revolutionary War and also their situation through the Industrial revolution and Civil war, to the Civil War, to the modern era and then finally into the twenty first century.
I would rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. It was professionally edited. Being non-fictional, the narrative was inspirations and tactful. The only dislike I have regarding this book is that the story is based on too much information which makes it hard to remember. However I enjoyed reading the book. The quality, writing style and ideas presented in the book are very impressive.
I would recommend this book to adults who love non-fictional fact based books and also to the one who are interested in reading about inspirational stories.
