Follow on Google News | New Local Book of Italian Immigration and Unique Contributions for a Better LifeItalians of Stark County focuses on Italian immigration into Stark County beginning in the late 1800s. At the time, Stark County's urban hub of Canton and the surrounding communities were in the middle of a thriving expansion driven by industry, transportation, and manufacturing. Along with this growth came the need for labor, with immigration filling many of those needs. Italians came to Stark County to work in the steel mills, in the coal mines, and on the railroad, as well as to start their own small businesses. Once established, Italian families began to replicate the community foundations from their native land, and in turn these foundations reinforced embedded values: family, food, religion, music, and freedom. This photographic history illustrates the second largest ethnic group showcasing values and contributions while bringing to life the character, work ethic, determination, and love of life of the Italian people of Stark County. Highlights of Italians of Stark County include: • Covering the time span of 1800-1960 • The industrial boom and desired immigration labor • Proud and hardworking people seeking economic opportunity • The need for village churches, feasts, and festivals • Thriving third generation family owned businesses Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or online.
