God Blew and They were Scattered

About the Book

GOD BLEW, AND THEY WERE SCATTERED is the saga of the Taelmann family, who were found in the Spanish Netherlands, (today’s Belgium) during the 16th century rejuvenation of the Spanish Inquisition, reinstated by the Catholic Church, under the cruel rule of Philip II of Spain (1556-1598).

As the story unfolds, the reader will detest the army commander; fear the Jesuit priests; abhor the meddling viceroys; applaud “Cook” Verhult; weep for Lily; revel in the romance of Jacques and Anna; and, fall in love with a black stallion, called Noble.

About the Author

The author, Genevieve Tallman Arbogast, presents the final volume of this trilogy, entitled GOD BLEW, AND THEY WERE SCATTERED, Book III, sub-titled Peter’s People (New Frontiers). The research for this series has been intense, covering a span of almost 500 years. Her biography was published earlier with Book I; therefore, it is sufficient to reiterate that she is a descendant of the Tallman, Boone and Lincoln families. In this volume she shall continue the saga with a profile of their struggles, as they become one with America’s frontier families. The reader may find ancestors among them; the names of many pioneers of America’s `Old Southwest Territory’ are cited.
