An American Journey

- Our Italian Heritage

Volumes I & II

Stories written by Italian immigrants and their families, that will make you both laugh and cry! The combined volumes include over 475 pages of statistics, wonderful photographs of immigrant families and their friends, as well as interesting history and photos of by-gone days in the Canastota – Oneida area of Central New York State. Also included are articles on the life-styles, customs and traditions of Italian immigrants and their siblings. These books have proved invaluable towards preserving a segment of history in this geographical area and have inspired displays relating to their content in local libraries and museums. Some of the material has been used by the NYS Archive Magazine and by the Department of Education at Oregon University. The photos, stories and historical information were compiled and published by the American Italian Association of the Canastota-Oneida area. Both Volumes are registered with the Library of Congress as non-dramatic works.
