Land of the Free, Home of the Brave - A Saga of America in the Twentieth Century (Paperback)


How far from your native country would you travel to find a place to live in freedom? What if it meant leaving behind everything and everyone you ever loved, if only because of a slim chance that a better life might exist someplace else? This is the story of a thirty-two year-old Italian stonecutter who had such a dream, as well as the faith and the courage to make it become a reality for himself and his family. Pasquale DeVito was a man with no money, education, or connections. One day while walking in his village he saw a poster; and the poster slowly turned into a mighty dream. That dream would take him across an ocean, to a land desperate for strong, hard-working men to complete the building of a modern new nation. This is his story, the story of his descendants, and the story of America.
