PA Books: They Were Immigrants

"They Were Immigrants" tells the story of Samuel Davis' grandparents who immigrated to Pennsylvania from Syria in the early 20th century and the lives they created in their new home. They started families. They worked hard. Their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren became teachers, judges, dentists, businessmen and businesswomen, bankers, psychologists, lawyers, doctors, and software developers. They served in the Army, Navy, and the Air Force and fought overseas in World War II and Vietnam.

Samuel Davis is an attorney living and practicing law in southwestern Pennsylvania.
