Customer Reviews

From the hand of "John Boy Walton"

Bread Crumb's life is worthy of the extensive documentation given to it.... The central core of the book is of course the familiar story of an immigrant coming to America and through exemplary character, extensive hard work, and sacrifice, realizing the American dream of success, wealth, and happiness. This is a worthy theme...dramatized well. Bread Crumb's life lends itself well to this theme since he practiced all those traditional virtues that make for success and seems to have been an appealing "regular" guy as well. In addition to his virtues there was high drama in the course of his life from the earliest years through his rise to the top of his profession. The period of his life also had large scope in time covering many of the crucial and dramatic years in our history. This is well underlined in the writing. Just a note about the writing. It is clear and vivid and honest, rich in detail and character description. The dialogue is so good that I have no doubt that this was exactly the way people spoke in the conversations which are recreated here. It is an "easy" book to read. It is an inspiring book and one that should be especially welcome today when patriotism is on the rise and we are taking a new look at our national character. Throughout the book there is a high moral tone.... This book is not the standard book you will find in bookstores today. Much of what is published today is depraved, morbid, or psychological case studies of sick people, or written to appeal to the lowest tastes and concerns of the reading public.... Bread Crumb is in a very special category.... The photographs are a wonderful feature of the book. They add immeasurably to the readability of the story. They are also well reproduced.... Lastly, I would like to have known Bread Crumb. I would like to have gone fishing with him.
