Summary
What does it really mean to find your street paved with gold, and what did it cost to get there? Dr. Robert Dattilo, historian and author, unpacks his novel A Street Paved of Gold ; a gripping generational saga rooted in real characters, Prohibition-era shadows, and the raw immigrant experience that built this country. From picking up horse manure on the Pennsylvania Railroad to outrunning the Black Hand, Vincenzo Martinelli's journey is equal parts brutal and inspiring.
