Description:A river can tell many tales...Of New World dreams and Old World traditions, of ambition and idealism, of greed and sacrifice, of forbidden passion and imperishable love.To the shores of the Susquehanna in the late 19th century swept a wave of immigrants. From Ireland, Italy, Germany, Russia, and Eastern Europe they came, to settle the burgeoning mining communities in Pennsylvania's Anthracite coal-rich river valley. Of each immigrant family a special story can be told. This is one of those stories.From 1877 until 1972, the saga follows the lives of four generations of the Hillman family and re-creates in rich detail the experience of immigration and assimilation. Dr. Arthur Hillman dedicates himself to practicing medicine among lung-diseased coal miners. A devoted husband and father, he spends a lifetime trying to forget the only woman he has truly loved.The narrative takes us far beyond the mining town of Wilkes-Barre, PA to the upper-class enclaves of Phildelphia, to Vienna in the late 1920s, to World War II India and contemporary Geneva. But it always returns to the valley of the uneasy Susquehanna, where the Hillmans have their roots.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
