Join us on Sunday, July 26th at 2 pm for TGS' July program meeting at the Maguire Center at Westminster Oaks. FSU alumna and author of The Westcott Story Christine Broderick Emmanuel will share her family’s expansive history, including their public service ties to Tallahassee beginning in 1830 and to Florida Supreme Court jurist James Diament Westcott III. The signature “James Diament Westcott” administration building and the Westcott fountain symbolize the Florida State University’s proud heritage and celebratory traditions, but they represent only a small part of the Westcotts’ overarching legacy in America. Both volumes of The Westcott Story are available for purchase at Amazon.com.

Bound For Glory is available for purchase at the Midtown Reader in Tallahassee and at the Gadsden Arts Center in Quincy. From Rose Marie:

Bound for Glory A Story of Family, Farming, and Faith
Nestled in northwest Gadsden County, Florida, close to the Florida-Georgia line, the once-
thriving community of Glory was a testament to resilience, faith, and the enduring power of
family. From its early days with bustling general stores, a school, a post office, and family-run
farms, Glory was more than a place. It was a way of life.
In this richly detailed narrative, Bound for Glory A Story of Family, Farming, and Faith traces the
journey of the Richard Mathews family, who settled in the area in 1847 and helped shape the
land and the legacy that still echo through local roots today. Drawing from extensive research,
personal letters, and treasured memories, author Rose Marie Worley portrays the unique
challenges and triumphs of North Florida’s rural communities during a pivotal time in history.
