Robert L. Harned is a professional research librarian who turned to writing family history after his retirement in 2006. He has already published books about his actress mother, Sally Phipps, and his magician/politician grandfather, Alfred Edward Bogdon, both available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. In the course of his research, he unearthed fascinating information about a number of other members of his family, whose stories and accomplishments also deserve to be told – the “unsung but not forgotten.” The personalities have been selected from the following interrelated families: Bassett, Beutler, Bogdon, Charles, Green, Harned, Lane, Morgan, Phelps, and Phipps. With his 400-page text, Harned also provides 275 pictures, bibliographies, genealogical tables, and a detailed index.
