Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Not DAVID TREASURE. A refugee from the misery of a 19th. century Welsh coal mining town, David escapes to a new life in America. But the Gilded Age is a hard time for most immigrants. He struggles for survival in the Pennsylvania coal towns and loses his family as they strike out for the west.
David settles in California and marries Tilda Pederson, the woman he dearly loves. They face life together, raise a family, and along the way encounter George Armstrong Custer, John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt . THE AMERICAN TREASURES is a chronicle of David's life, from birth to death, through one of America's most turbulent eras. It is a record of the joy of belonging to a family and of being loved.
