Gelsomina’s Story of Caesar Lucchesi - The Lucchesi Story

By -
It is a great new book that just came out last month. 

Research into the three generations of the Lucchesi family brought Matson face to face with what days and nights must have been like for her grandmother, an innocent, young girl brought from Italy to a small mining town in Michigan in the 1800s. The scandalous elopement. The building of a family and a business. Intertwined within the story is the growth, not only of the Lucchesi family but also of America—from horse-drawn carriages, to automobiles, to airplanes, and, finally, the information age and computers.
