Foundation Stone

Using the history of Alabama and the stories of her pioneering ancestors, Lella Warren created the Whetstone clan who settled Alabama in the 1820s, helped lead it into the prosperity of the 1850s, and fought for it in the War Between the States. The historical background of Foundation Stoneis authentic, but, more, it is a compelling story about believable characters. The story of these people-three generations of Whetstones-captures the American pioneering spirit.
