TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nils D. Olsson, a veteran of the Korean War, and former engineer, has completed his new book "Early American Farm Life", a bucolic and historical glance at the journey of his maternal lineage in the New World. William Short settled in Pittsylvania County, Virginia and died as a young man. The Short family proliferated as the story advances six generations to 1819, for the birth of Burwell B. Short. Burwell married Francis Ann George and had eleven children, including the author's grandfather, Samuel David Short, at the tail end of the American Civil War.
Olsson shares, "My mother's family history extends back to the early sixteenth-century England. William Short was born on March 3, 1613 in Brewood, Staffordshire and was a lower-level member of the English establishment. He received a land grant from the Crown and his son joined a privately-funded expedition as a young man and voyaged west to the New World. He landed at the colony of Virginia, so named by Walter Raleigh for his reigning monarch then known as the Virgin Queen Elizabeth. Walter Raleigh, although never traveling to the Virginia Colony, popularized smoking tobacco in the Virgin Queen's court. William Short died as a young man on April 6, 1659. He was married to Elizabeth Symonds, and they had two children. His will is recorded in Surry County, Virginia, and is one of the oldest to exist in the Commonwealth of Virginia."
