This book is about Joseph Worthy and his family, who immigrated to this country. It tells the story of the Worthy family finding their way west to the gold fields where Joseph Worthy and his son discovered gold and became wealthy. It tells of their journey east for a more peaceful life. They find their way to the beginnings of a port called Port Haven Refuge. Joseph and his son, Joe, decide to spend part of their fortune purchasing three hundred acres, where they built a sanctuary for birds on their southern flyway. It tells the story of how the Sanctuary of Many Lakes was developed. The Worthy family's wealth had allowed them to use their money in philanthropic ways to develop the sanctuary and invest in many businesses surrounding the sanctuary. They also built a fine manor, where the Worthy family settled. It tells of his contribution to all the needs of the port, which was a refuge for the many boats on the river that needed to stop for dry dock repairs. Joseph Worthy spread his wealth contracting with farmers throughout the area to grow grain crops for all the birds flying into the many ponds and lakes on this huge sanctuary. You will see how he helped other businesses build and develop. The entertainment will be in the reading of the many interesting and unique characters that operated their businesses. This is a unique story where Port Haven and the bird sanctuary grew together and found they needed each other. In all, this is a story of success and how one man and his family created a remarkable union between the port and the town. You will love the characters; they are as real as they could be. I, William Worthy, am telling this story, and I am the grandson and fourth generation of the Worthy family.
