Guided Footsteps

By Kirstin Burnham

From England to Massachusetts, from Valley Forge to Gettysburg, from the American Revolution to the Korean War, follow the Burnham familys American experience, spanning twelve generations, from 1635 to present day. Guided Footsteps encompasses the many lives and occupations of Burnhams through out major events in American history. The body of work encapsulates the lives of: Sea Captains, Lawyers, Doctors, Teachers, Farmers, State Representatives, Soldiers, Military Officers, Architect Daniel Burnham, and Lois Burnham Wilson, the co-founder of Al-Anon.
Ms. Burnham incorporates years of research into a well-rounded view of the Burnham familys American experience. She combines historical facts along with personal insights and descriptions of her travels to give the reader a window into her journey of discovery.



Dear reader please note the following error:

Page 53, line 7. It is Fredrick Stock (not Sock) that should be written, my apologies for the typo. Fredrick Stock was a famous composer and conductor for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
