About Rita Ownby Holcomb...
Rita Ownby Holcomb is a fourth generation Texan who has always been fascinated by the question, "Where do we come from?" Her genealogy research has led to the birth of the A Twist of Tobacco series.

Follow the Civil War lives of the eleven Ownby children during The Civil War.
