Description
Much more than a simple portrait of a pioneer family, this chronicle is actually a history of Bristol from a different perspective. It would be virtually impossible to write a complete history of this city without including a record of the pioneer King family. Likewise, it would be very difficult to write of this family and not become involved in general Bristol history.
