The Greeks first started to emigrate to America in large numbers after 1900. This book is about those Greeks who emigrated from the district of Mani, Laconia between 1900 and 1930. The Greek American community that evolved here had three parts: a parish of the Orthodox Church, a chapter of the Order of A.H.E.P.A., and numerous regional societies. This book gives a cross section of the lives of these Maniates and their families. They were very industrious and of high moral character. They instilled these virtues into their children, so that today they have become leaders in science, commerce, industry, education and government.
