Separatist Pilgrims, Swiss Anabaptists, Scots-Irish Presbyterians and Swedish Protestants hold different beliefs but those who immigrated to America were bound with a common thread. They sought the freedom to own land, to worship without fear-an archetypal American Dream no less real today. The author traces his familial roots to these four groups in an eclectic memoir-based, genealogical narrative lightly framed lightly by historical perspective. Readers who join the adventure can expect to make odd stops to review details related to the founding of a private Christian boys' school, the South Pacific of World War II, an American Revolution skirmish, a Babe Ruth grand slam, the New England Hurricane of 1938, the Scots-Irish incursion into North Carolina, the 1959 National Hockey League, the World Series, a prison camp in the War Between the States, the establishment of the Hershey Chocolate Company, a view of life on rural Long Island in the 1950s, the signing of the Mayflower Compact and the Puritan move to Long Island.
