Book excerpt: A story about the Tolpuddle Martyrs, with the one named Hammett being my relative. Many previously have written on this subject, but with this publication there is a difference. The reader is also taken on an historical voyage through a century or two with members and relatives of James Hammett and his family tree. Famous worldwide historical events would not only wrap around certain individuals, but place them within those benchmarks of time. A wealth of information is to be found within these pages, including previously unpublished facts with original sources, associated photographs and artwork. A magnet draw for those interested in all things associated with the Tolpuddle Martyrs and a Tolpuddle Hammett family tree in book form to quench the thirst of those seeking this knowledge. With them one is transported to the places and experiences their various life or career paths trod.
