Bryant

by Ray Steelman

Overview

The Book, Bryant, tells the story of the pioneer family that immigrated to the US from Ireland in 1745. It follows the family through parts of three centuries until the present. It's great reading, inspirational, motivational, and touching. In the author's own words: "Little did I know that the family, in which I was born, had such an honorable and distinctive history. In time, I learned about the family heritage, the generations of interesting characters and the dramas that had taken place over the years. I learned about William R. Bryant’s shrewd business deals; Eliza Hicks Bryant’s close encounter with a black bear and three wild Indians; the colorful family negro, Joe Ferguson, and his impact on the Bryant family; John David Bryant’s escapades during the Civil War; the heritage of the Bryant farm; and the hundreds of other stories that made the Bryant family one of America’s most exciting pioneer families." The book is all true and taken from family notes and from word of mouth.

About the Author

The Authors
Sharon and Ray Steelman
During the past forty years, Sharon and Ray Steelman have started and run six successful businesses. Their most recent accomplishment is Bama Jammer ™ Promotions. Beginning from scratch, with no money, no equipment, and no office, in seven years they transitioned a modest business into an advertising specialty and Identity- clothing company with markets stretching across the US and abroad. After trial and error, long hours and lots of sweat equity, the pieces finally began to fit.

It is amazing enough to build six successful businesses, but to do so completely debt-free is even more amazing. By applying Biblical principles, frugal business practices and good work ethics, Sharon and Ray have proven that anyone can realize the “American Dream!”
