Edwin Carter enlisted in the military at the age of 19 in Indiana in 1862. George Carter Sr. and his family migrated to Ohio between 1830 and 1840. Peter Carter II, who married Mary Ellis in 1764, was part of the family lineage. Benjamin Carter settled in Vinita, Oklahoma, where he organized the Southwest Finance Corporation. Jesse Carter's ancestry can be traced back to Maryland, where his family owned a plantation by 1725. Additionally, Jesse Carter and Elijah Moore were involved in land ownership in Ohio.

The manuscript details the family history of the Carters, with specific sections dedicated to different branches of the family. It highlights the lineage, achievements, and significant events related to various members of the Carter family. The compilation may have faced criticism for duplicating certain facts across different sections but aimed to provide a comprehensive story for each Carter family section. Efforts were made to delve into the ancestry of William Carter I, potentially tracing it back to England.

One anecdote from the manuscript describes a meal encounter with friendly Indians, where the scout found the meat tough but enjoyed the broth. Benjamin Carter, accompanied by his son, participated in various events, including joining the army to fight the Rebels. The letter from M. W. Tinkler expresses concern about Edwin Carter's young age and experiences in battle, seeking help for his release. The manuscript also recalls a memorable event in Swope Park involving an aircraft flight demonstration and a bathing beauty contest, adding a personal touch to the family's experiences.
