Randy Willis's Family

Valley of Decision

This is written for and dedicated to eleven people: my three sons (and their wives) and six grandchildren. They are the joy of my life. Anyone else who would care to listen in is welcome.

The son of a white man and Cherokee slave, Joseph Willis, was born a slave to his father. Joseph gained his freedom and swam the mighty Mississippi on a mule.
