This book is about those Greeks who immigrated 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 AHEPA, 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.
