We have a very interesting book we have written,
based on fact and Barlow Family legend we would like to offer you -
a Barlow family member. This book was
written for our Barlow family's pleasure and enjoyment and was particularly
directed to the young folks.
This tales is a short adventure story that
brings to light five colorful and historic Barlows. Arthur sent to the
"New World" by Sir Walter Raleigh, George the "Beast of Sandwich" [MA],
a political favor appointment by the King of England in the 1600's, Thomas
a seafaring pirate and Levi and Nathan, Barlow brothers who bravely fought
in the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Nantucket in the waters off the
coast of Cape Cod.
The title of the Barlow tale is "THE BATTLE
OF NANTUCKET", published and copywritten 1998, Farewell Press, PO Box 57,
Buzzards Bay, MA 02532. There is a second book also available now
which brings Levi and Nathan forward to their future, our present to take
a look at the changes taking place along our coastline. This book
looks at the need for solutions to problems now existing. Both of
these books are nicely illustrated, soft covered with a glossary and maps.
We feel every Barlow home/family should have
these books.
Here are a few comments we have received about
our tale

Principle Wareham School system, Wareham, MA --
"It [the book] is quite revealing of the Barlow's
past. What a fantastic job you [Barlow} have done."
John Gardner a Doctor/Technician, Falmouth
Hospital, Falmouth, MA --
"A true Cape Cod adventure from a by gone
era! An enchanting short story. This tale takes you back to
a time during the Revolutionary War and fascinates you with deeds of our
brave and heroic forefathers, pirates and Indians alike. Truly enjoyable
reading for the entire family, young and old."
Jean Day writer of non-fiction NC history --
"I found the stories very enjoyable and interesting..."

The second [book] THE ADVENTURES OF LEVI AND
