The emphasis they placed upon education, religion, community co-operation, good neighbourliness, strong family unity, and the preservation of cultural values and ideals. Covers the rigors of the Great Depression, starvation in the midst of plenty, the clash of ideologies, the threat of World War II and fascism, and the crushed hopes and dreams of a young educator 20 years later during the McCarthy reaction, for having dared to study the causal factors of human misery and to dream about viable alternatives.... Illustrates that truth is often stranger than fiction, and that out of the ashes of incinerated dreams, new dreams are born and realized." - from dust jacket.

"A century ago, when every known route was beset with its own dangers, the risks in the "Country Trade" were especially numerous, and it is difficult now to even believe, much more to realise, the vicissitudes to which a ship was liable in the 17th and 18th centuries from the time she left her anchorage under the friendly protection of the guns of old Bombay Castle... Pirates, cosmopolitan, Indian, Arab, even English, cruised the Arabian seas. The Straits of Malacca teemed with fierce cut-throats; the Gulf was a standing menace. These dangers were real." - From Preface. Contents clean, bright and unmarked, possibly unread. Tight and square. Light wear to white and blue cloth-covered boards.
