Starting with the earliest immigrants before World War I, this work plots the ups and downs of the Armenian community of Syracuse, New York, up to the present.
The book describes how one small community experienced the formative events of American-Armenian history. It traces the institutional developments of the early years-the establishment of churches, cultural organizations, and political parties. It follows the ruptures of the 1930s-the advent of the pro-Soviet Harachtimagan movement, the assassination of Archbishop Tourian in New York City, and the split within the Armenian Apostolic Church throughout the United States. It stays with the community though World War II, the Cold War, and more recent developments.
Drawing on numerous interviews, a wealth of letters, minutes, and other documents, as well as firsthand experience, the author delivers an intimate biography of the Syracuse family.

How I got hereOct 07, 2005 I found the book very interesting .It did contain pieces of my father grand father and many names of people that I met during trips with my dad an electrician with Local 43 in Syracuse. His help was always in demand at the older homes and businesses. A contributor to the book has been writing his own book and we are all eager to see it, hurry up BOB.
Well-written and good reading. Henry Cargen
Well done!Jun 17, 2000 Books on Armenian communities in the USA are rare, but this oneis definitely well done! The book works on several levels.
For onething, we get to know the Armenians of Syracuse, and they seem worth knowing. For another, we get to know the trials and tribulations of the Armenians in the USA. It's an exciting tale of Soviet intervention, murder of an archbishop, and divided families.
