“Meriwether Ball has written a compelling story of her search for the roots of Lewis ‘Chesty’ Puller’s family and faith.

Author, “Chesty, The Story of Lieutenant General Lewis B. Puller, USMC”

Meriwether Ball reveals the deep faith borne of Lt. Gen. Lewis Burwell Puller's Colonial Episcopalian roots. Miss Ball's shared ancestry with the most famous and well-respected Marine in U.S. history led to research discoveries explaining his secret familial devotion--that neither life nor death could transcend.

In this first volume she begins to explore the acts of devotion previously unrevealed--which secretly defined the five-time Navy Cross recipient. Perhaps the Good General came by his undaunted courage far more naturally than anyone has ever known before now.

Ball, utilizing her first-rate research skills, uncovered the astonishing apparent fact that young Chesty fathered a child while serving in Haiti. She analyzes in depth how this affected his life and his faith.
