Turn-of-the-century Jewish life is explored in Poland; Russia; Hungary; and Galicia and compared to what was to be an utterly different environment in Western Pennsylvania. This book addresses how immigrants reshaped their traditions and lifestyles to fit a rapidly industrializing America.The story is told through oral histories; family memoirs; census reports; and local histories written by immigrants. The personal stories are often insightful and humorous; while maps and tables make this volume invaluable to researchers.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This volume makes you want them all!By Richard MontgomeryI have read a number of these Cavalry histories. They are very thorough and offer information not found in books that just cover the main battles.These tell you situations involving skirmishes and and exactly who and what troop is involved. If you are a intermediate Civil War buff or expert you will enjoy being able to take in more information than most on the subject.A definite must have for the Civil War fanatic! I love them.
