Benjamin

After the close of the American Civil War men went back to
what had been home. For many of them it meant starting over
to rebuild a new life. Such was the case with Benjamin Franklin
Harris an eighteen year old boy turned into a man.
Traveling, or in his case walking, west with a group of exwar
friends God directed him to an immigrant German farmer
who wanted nothing more than to be a good American and
see his daughters married. Hans and Bessie Fredrickson took
Benjamin into their home and became his new family
