This book is the consolidation of family research carried out over some fifty years. It concentrates on the family name Barrow brought to the island of Barbados in the 17th century. Six separate Barrow families are identified. Early members of five of these families established roots and contributed to the growth and economic viability of the island. However as time advanced, most of the members of these five families departed Barbados for more promising opportunities in life. Today, there are no known representatives of the original five families, with the name Barrow, living in Barbados. The sixth family of Barrows had its origins in Barbados in the 19th century. In more recent times two members of this family were prominent in the Government of Barbados. Dame Nita Barrow was Governor General of the island and her brother the Hon. Errol Barrow was the first Prime Minister of Barbados at Independence in 1966. The book is divided into six parts, each part dealing with one of the families. Part I forms the largest portion of the book and presents the Barrows connected to the Cambridge Barrows of England. The most distinguished member of the Cambridge Barrows was Dr. Isaac Barrow who taught Sir Isaac Newton at Trinity College, Cambridge. The author has published another book entitled, ÒIsaac NewtonÕs Teacher, Ó which deals with the relationship between Barrow and Newton.

Eddie Foy, the famous vaudevillian who toured the West during the late 1800s, was qouted as saying that compared to Leadville, Colorado, Dodge City resembled a Sunday School. The 10,200 - foot high "Magic City" was one of the wildest mining camps of the era. This book is a semi-biographical history of Martin "Mart" Duggan, who was Leadville City marshal for two and nearly three terms before he met his end at the hands of gambling pals. But Leadville was also home to numerous other fascinating characters, not the least of whom was John Henry "Doc" Holliday, who had his last gunfight in Leadville in 1884.They all came to Leadville: the confidence men, the gamblers, the stage robbers, and the "soiled doves" though they could have never known it at the time, being primarily concerned with survival, these individuals in their totality combined to create one of the most intriguing camps in the Wild West.And the site of much of the action that made Leadville unique occurred on State Street, the half mile long stretch of gambling dens, saloons, and bawdy houses that rivaled any red light district then in existence.Even today, when State Street has been renamed Second Street, one can imagine Mart Duggan, Doc Holliday, and Tombstone's Johnny Tyler, to name only a few walking westward from Harrison Avenue to the east-west mecca of State Street. Gazing upward they would see majestic Mount Massive directly in front of them. What a view! What a mining camp!Marshal Mart Duggan's Leadville - the Wild West at its most fascinating.

In the Spring of 1968, after serving as pastor of the Assembly of Jesus Christ (Valley Christian Center) for two years and struggling to heal the wounds of a church split, I met Tom Welch. My life was forever changed. At that time it did not appear I was standing at a major cross-roads, but looking back over the years, I know the needle of the compass did an about face, and I began walking a diff erent direction. After hearing the simple, but profound testimony of Tom, I was dramatically impacted. He had spoken deliberately, thoughtfully choosing every word, appearing to see anew everything he was describing, and sometimes speaking so low that it was hard to hear. After hearing his testimony many times over the next 14 years, that same heavy conviction that gripped my life that day, was renewed afresh. There was not a doubt in my mind, this man died, went to hell, and through prayer was raised back to life.

I am impressed with the book and amazed by the story. Good job! The picture of life before and after the accident is powerful. Without faith there would be no story. Your book is excellent.

This includes difficult aspects of the healing process and adapting to her different life. She tells how prayer helped. Not all of us will experience this kind of trauma in our marriage, but it is true that every marriage, every relationship, and every person has challenges. I encourage you to read Becky's book. James Gottwald, Pastor I found your book very inspirational. I am very impressed. You have a talent for writing. I found myself crying in parts and smiling in others. You are truly a role model for people living with life changing events. Terry Lee My Dearest Sister in Christ, Reading your book was an inspiration. I read it in a couple of hours. You are correct. Prayer is the answer and God knows and hears all. We may not understand here on the earth but Praise God, when we all get to the other side, not only will these types of things be revealed to us, but we'll be reunited with our loved ones. Life is precious. Your book will inspire many. I pray to not take marriage for granted or take each other for granted. Love like you'll never love again. Marriage needs lots of prayer and definitely God, without him we are nothing. God Bless you both for sharing this book with me. Joan Richey

In the matter of personal experience, I am qualified to write about Africa & about America as well. In me, the phrase "African-American" is alive with vivid experiences. I have spent equal halves of my eventful life in Africa & in the USA. I have citizenship in both worlds & have been uniquely impacted by both through bouts of traumatic experiences. Presently & continuing, one-America-gets to house my body; the other-Africa- my soul. In the ensuing strange marriage of the two cultures, the line between the bride & bridegroom is fluid at best. I can, therefore, constructively praise &/or criticize both, interchangeably, w/ civilized equanimity & without fear, favor/shame. I can "Toast" the Bride, specific circumstance warranting. The book is to inform & to query alike. Although the material presented is predominantly a product of the African culture, it is not parochially African in its view of human life & Nature; nor in the content of the personal experiences presented. The book draws heavily from the literary wisdoms of philosophers to articulate the language & extract a body of knowledge suitable for describing, & coincidental to expressing, the deeper side of personal life experiences. It also juxtaposes traditional African spiritual idealism with modern American material realism to establish context. The reader is not to equate the different chapters as simple matching titles of the knowledge they contain. Although these chapters are meaningful & intelligible in themselves, the reader is persuaded to accumulate them progressively as the background necessary for understanding the relation of each to the whole. Toasting the Bride challenges the reader to know more about certain naked hypocrisies of the American legal system & to formulate educated personal opinions about the American social culture and to imbibe some universal lessons of life by partaking in the more vivid accounts of my personal experiences; & by pondering on the harder questions of living.
