A Dream, a Buck, an Era - Paperback

by Robert W. Jepperson (Author)

A Dream, A Buck, An Era pits a thriving immigrant culture against the harsh economic times of The Great Depression when American families faced tough challenges and found ways to win. The book begins with the discovery of an eighty year old scrapbook that details the career of one man who tried boxing as a means to change his life, and then takes us on a journey to some of the smallest and largest communities of the Pacific Northwest during the early-Depression years. The author has gathered within these covers a remarkable collection of vintage photographs and stories that paint a picture of a culture and an era.
