Mary Cramer

Dr. Mary Cramer is a registered nurse and Professor Emeritus at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Mary has numerous research publications to her credit, but "Persistent Spirit" marks her debut in the public domain. The book is a personal and eloquent reflection of Mary's Christian faith, sharing stories from her own life and others that demonstrate the Holy Spirit's role in fostering deeper connections with the divine. These narratives showcase transformative and sometimes dramatic encounters with the Holy Spirit's guidance.

Mary's newest publication is "Palatine to American Patriot." It is a compelling historical biography that traces the remarkable journey of Garet Fiscus (1725-1797), a German immigrant who became a Patriot of the American Revolution. The book follows Garet from his humble beginnings in the Rhine-Palatinate, through his perilous Atlantic crossing as an indentured servant, to his eventual rise in America as a prosperous landowner and father of three sons who were also American Patriots. This book is a must-read to anyone interested in American history, genealogy, and the immigrant experience.
