Description
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Not DAVID TREASURE, a refugee from the misery of a 19th century Welsh coalmining town. David escapes to a new life in America, but the Gilded Age is a hard time for immigrants. David struggles for survival in the Pennsylyvania coal towns and loses most of his family as they strike out for the west. David settles in California and marries TILDA PEDERSON. They face life together, raise a family, and along the way encounter some of America's icons, including George Armstrong Custer, John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt. THE AMERICAN TREASURES is a chronicle of David's journey from birth to death through one of America's most turbulent eras. It is a record of the joy of belonging to a family and being loved.
