It's also the creation story of America itself. This dynastic chronicle begins in seventeenth-centry England. Desperate for a better life, George Hull joins with dozens of other families to sail across the Atlantic. After much tribulation, they land safely on North American shores -- but they know their true journey has only just begun. Starting out as a mission to escape persecution and become landowners, with the passage of time -- through hardships, injustice, and war -- their quest morphs into a contemporary urban struggle for workers' rights. And the pursuit continues -- with no limit on where new generations might take it. Part history, part biography, and part memoir, 'Birth of the American dream' is about the hopes of a family, the birth of a natoin, and the incontrovertible rise of a spirit that even today shows no signs of slowing down." from the back cover. 651 1 $a United States $x History. 651 1 $a Iowa $x History. 650 01 $a Sauk Indians $x History. 700 3 $a Hull family. 941 $a 5 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611015458.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014719.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717034955.0 952 $l F3OX522 $d 20180524042809.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171205011718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=19EB6700D98A11E78F813B5397128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
