Description: Pinnick Kinnick Hill, An American Story is a lightly fictionalized memoir by Gain Gonzalez, a first generation American whose parents emigrated from Spain. Gonzalez's story recounts the lives of his parents and their fellow immigrants who settled in Harrison County, West Virginia in the early twentieth century. According to Suronda Gonzalez (no relation to the author) who wrote the preface, Pinnick Kinnick Hill "is a historical treasure that enriches understandings of Appalachian, U.S., and Spanish history." And from the Foreword by Patrick W. Conner, "The book is partly a memoir, partly a history, and partly a novel, all combined in a sometimes heartwarming and sometimes bittersweet celebration of how one small Spanish community survived and then prospered in the ethnic caldron that was America."
Notes: English text with Spanish translation on facing pages.
