The family story is that when a group of brothers, cousins, and nephews left Lawrence Co, TN, in the 1830s, each of them changed one letter in their surname. The sons of John Brashears, Sr (married Mary Berry) kept the old spelling. The sons of Henry Brashears, Sr (married Eleanor Hardin) changed to Breshears. A brother who moved to Arkansas, William Arthur Brashears (m. Anna Etheridge) changed his surname to Breashears. A nephew in Arkansas, Berry Brashears (married Anna ____) changed his name to Boshears. The three cousins in Benton, Polk, and Hickory County went by Middleton Brashears, Nathan Turner Breshears, and Alexander Brashears. Some of the descendants of the oldest brother, Basil Brashears, Sr, used Beshears, Boshears, and Brashears as their surname. Visit my website WWW.CharlesBrashear.com for a complete table of contents.

History & Criticism

<p>Doe-in-the-Dawn, half-blood Koru Indian and widow of a Caucasian, becomes activist as a result of the "Red Power" invasion of Alcatraz in 1969. She pressures her grandson, Georgie Stonecrist, who teaches school in their town, Colusa, CA, to join the Indians of All Tribes on the island. Georgie loves his grandmother dearly and would do almost anything for her, almost anything- except "become an Indian." The book is about Granny's campaign to Indianize Georgie, which includes arts and crafts activities, the tribe's history, settlement of the town, a lawsuit in Federal Court, Georgie's unconventional vision quest on Onolai, the sacred mountain, and a fund-raiser for the invaders of Wounded Knee.</p>
