The Autobiography of Samuel Clark

By Samuel Clark

The Autobiography of Samuel Clark gives us a perspective on the life of a Jewish family in Russian Poland during the harsh regimes of Alexander III and Nicolas II. Samuel Clark aka Shimon Leikach (1882 - 1975) was compelled to leave home as a young man, after escaping from the Russian Army. He made his way to America and learned by trial and error to make a living. At the age of eighty, he gathered his recollections. He wrote them down phonetically and they retain his Yiddish accent. The original writings appear side by side with a version edited by his granddaughter. 120 pp. with illustrations.
