You ask, "What is your book about?" Well, my family and friends, it is about you and me. It is a memoir about how we came to be Americans, how we came to be related, and how we came to love our American dream life.Since I toddled, scurried, and practically ran through the entire twentieth-century, I feel I own it, and now you, my future reader, should inherit this legacy of feelings, thoughts, and experiences.Two global wars could not prevent our achievements in science, industrialization, or technology; alegacy no ancestor could possibly envision. All centuries combined never amassed the progress ourearly immigrants or we modern day Americans accomplished within these one hundred years.I have attempted to summarize and highlight the interesting parts and pieces with the hope you, my reader, will spread the word forward.Ultimately, this is a story for everyone's family. It is a story of immigrants without money or education who not only turned poverty into middle-class life, but created the most amazing American century the world has known.
