Grandsons: A Story of American Lives

New York/London: Harper & Brothers. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1935. Fourth Edition. Hardcover. [minor shelfwear, some age-toning to edges of text block, light dust-soiling to top edge; the jacket is a bit edgeworn, with small tears and some associated short creasing at the bottom corners of the front panel]. "This is the story of two brothers, Peter and Andy Gale, and their cousin Jack, three young Americans of today. Their grandfather, Anton Galé, came to the United States sixty years before, an immigrant from Carniola, and was killed in a Chicago riot in 1886. Their grandmother was part Indian, part Yankee. The father of Peter and Andy was a small business man and Jack's father was a steel worker. This is their background, but their lives and problems are representative of millions of young Americans today, regardless of racial heritage. They are products of America: America's problem." ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
