Synopsis "Daniel Matheny: Maverick Tailor From Virginia, 1829 - 1876"

Daniel Matheny: Maverick Tailor from Virginia, 1829 - 1876, recounts the incredible journey of a 19th-century tailor who transforms himself from indentured servant through hardship and struggle to free man on his own terms. The biography offers terrific insight into Daniel's motivations, movements, and determination accompanied by a bounty of original court and land records, every-name index, and complete genealogy of his descendants. A mystery for decades to his own people, Daniel comes to life in the compelling story of a restless soul on a mission. Against the backdrop of wild Appalachia, Daniel travels an unmoored life through six wives and twelve children. Follow Daniel and by extension follow the history of the Matheny family on a uniquely American journey.
