Paradise, At Last: Ashes to Ashes, East to West; A Swiss-American Family's Migration, #2

About this ebook
This second volume of the personal memoir of Glen B. Lionberger continues the tale his family's lives, dreams, struggles and successes, love and loss, overlaid on a tapestry of American and World history, from 1921 to 1963. Glen's story is continued from volume 1 of his family's saga at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Glen B. Lionberger's diary recorded a lot of America's Twentieth Century history from a personal perspective. His tales in Volume II don't have the youthful adventure and happenstance of his 'Illinois to Oregon -- Lionbergers', as married life can, and should, put young people on a more cautious path. Glen took a more business-like posture as he and his wife Lottie try to enjoy homelife, extended family, and traveling the country to visit the kin, from their marriage in 1922 for four decades of American and World goings on, through 1963. His political-religious viewpoint may come through a little too strongly for those with a Progressive, more panoramic view. However, living life, vicariously, through the events that made up the early to mid-1900's, with his detail to prices, products, and technology is amazing. Also, for those interested in home construction the art of modern house building and business, in Portland, Oregon-- Yakima, Washington-- and Riverside, California from the 1920's to the 1960's is something of an education.
Glen B. Lionberger
Glen B. Lionberger was a midwestern boy born and raised, but, bitten by an Idaho bug in his early manhood, returned to spend his sunset years there, where he had matured and loved. A WWI veteran, Glen, wrote the three volumes of his family's tragedies and triumphs, in the 1950's/60's.
