This compilation of family stories, as poems, is to preserve them from being lost to memory. Bloodroot was the name of a plant displayed in my botany class at West Virginia Wesleyan College. The stem when cut resembles bleeding. In regards to genealogical bloodlines I concluded that the term Bloodroot would be a good title for this collection of mostly family stories. My daughter Beth Ann suggested the title 101 Dadmations for my first book, and the two were combined: Bloodroot: 101 Dadmations. This second book Bloodroot: 100 Dadmations is a companion volume to the first preserving more family stories.
