A Most Improbable Union - The DAR & the Coal Man

"Follows the lives of two people, polar opposites, drawn together at the dawn of the 20th century. One from western New York and the other Germany. One a Daughter of the American Revolution, the other an immigrant coal man. Carolyn, the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer, knew little other than the secure world of conservative economic, political, and social values. Conrad, the second son of a village shoemaker, knew nothing of Carolyn’s world. His ancestors, ground down by perpetual poverty, the pawns of endless European wars and resultant migrations, couldn’t possibly have been the ‘sons’ or ‘daughters’ of anything so grand as a revolution. And yet ... Those who knew the pair scratched their heads in amazement at their improbable merger."-- Back cover.
