Description
Author Ellen Collinge presents an eclectic mix of true and
not-so-true stories to pique the imagination of the reader in
Changing Patterns. Having lived in eight western and
southwestern states during her lifetime, she has accumulated a
wealth of experience which is reflected in these stories. Tracing
her family history back to Jamestown in 1619, Collinge tells a
fascinating true story of a defining incident in her ancestry that
occurred in 1644. Another story recalls how a Singer sewing machine
purchased by her grandmother in 1878 ended up on display in the
Colorado Historical Museum in Colorado Springs, where it remains to
this day.
