About John Silas Riggs, II

✶ JOHN L. RIGGS represents a family of the earliest pioneers, who were originally natives of Wales, the home of mythical legends and weird, yet fascinating ballads. But more fascinating to the childish ear than even ancient tale or thrilling music were the new stories of a life where truth was stranger than fiction, of a wonderful land across the mighty ocean. At length a hardy band of pioneers joined an expedition to the New World, and among their number were the early ancestors of the Riggs family. After landing in America they settled in Maryland, where their children grew to maturity and were married.
