On the Frontier: The Jefferson Toulouse Family follows eight generations of the Toulouse family, starting with an overview of their origins in southwestern France. Two generations later, a young soldier was sent to Quebec to protect settlers and fight the Iroquois. He survived and his children and grandchildren explored the new land while working to become one of the most successful voyageur fur trading families. Jefferson Toulouse was born on September 15, 1805 near frontier Detroit. He married another descendent of French origin and their surviving ten children all married and found success throughout the American West, helping to build the country in the early 1900s. It's an epic story of challenge and change, progress and peril, lived by everyday heroes struggling to make a better life for their children.

Autorenporträt
Over thirty years of genealogy and family history research had provided Frank Bevc with a strong foundation for relating the impact of national and global events on families. His histories provide a unique blend of biographical information viewed against the timeline of history. The stories tell how everyday heroes react to global events. Other Family-h books include: Puritans, Patriots and Pioneers: set against Colonial America and the Revolutionary War; Sons of Ardore: tracing how a small Italian village coped with famine and war and the story of an immigrant's success; and Children of the Mirna Valley: relating how a small ethnic clan resisted assimilation for over nine hundred years and created their own country.
