BOOK REVIEW.

Descendants of William Shurtleff of Plymouth and Marshfield, Mass. Compiled by Benjamin Shurtleff (6th). In two large volumns. Revere, Mass. 1912.

Volume one of this fine work begins with the first generations and traces the family to the seventh. Volume two deals with the eight, ninth and tenth generations, closing with an index. There are many pictures in both volumes. The author states that:

"The material of this genealogy has been contributed by at least three men of different generations, and the work is completed in a little more than a century from its birth." The author was asked. "What family traits are handed down from previous generations?" He answered, “A love of their genealogy."

This work is of special local interest from the fact that the Shurtleff family is a prominent one in Utah and adjoining states. Luman A. Shurtleff of the sixth generation, early became a member of the "Mormon" Church, took part in the stirring scenes of Ohio and Illinois and crossed the plains by ox-team to Utah in 1851. Luman A. had four families from which

sprung a numerous posterity, most of whom are found in this genealogy. Prominent among these Lewis W. Shurtleff, son of Luman A. may be named, at present President of the Weber Stake of Zion and postmaster of Ogden.

Descendants of William Prickard, by A. M. Prickard of Charleston, W. Va.
