Lainey Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 I read a book long time ago about an 1850's American family that made/invented gunpowder, the book went through generations of the family who joined the business unfortunately i can't remember the book title or the author or even the family name any help would be greatly appreciated.. i would love to read it again Quote
Chrissy Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Hi Lainey. Was the book about the Dupont family? They were big in the US gunpowder business in the 1800's. There is a series of books by author Michael Dodd called the Dupont Family Chronicles starting with A Strange Destiny. Not sure they are completely related though. Good luck finding the book. I know it can be so frustrating when you can remember bits, and you can remember that you enjoyed it, but little else. Quote
