Description: There is an untold tale of Americans in Paris, a history of expatriation and immigration that parallels the story of the 'Lost Generation' expatriates who came to France for creative inspiration. This book argues that the 'other Americans in Paris' - American heiresses who married cash-poor French noblemen, wayward souls who got into trouble there but especially American businessmen living on the Right Bank of the Seine - are part of an important story of the early half of the 'American Century'.
