Brooklyn, N.Y. in the 1940's and 1950's. Gravesend, one of the six original towns of Brooklyn, became New York City's largest settlement of Italian immigrants in the first half of the 20th century. Introduce to this bi-lingual ethnic community, a Protestant minister's son - a small town boy from upstate New York, and what emerges is the familiar immigrant story seen from an unusual perspective. Profusely illustrated with personal photos and over 50 antique postcards, the story is rich in details of a unique time and place.
