The Memoir of Harry Jacobs"My name is Harry Jacobs, and I am a simple man who has lived an extraordinary life. I am an immigrant who came to America with nothing but determination and a dream. I have seen covered wagons crossing the Western prairies, Native Americans fighting Settlers, and the railway being forged to the new West. I have made the wrong decisions and struggled to survive, but I have always found a way to overcome my challenges. I am a proud American who is grateful for the opportunities that this country has given me. I hope that my story will inspire others to never give up on their dreams.There are so many amazing family stories that are never told and are lost in the sands of time. The stories of Harry Jacobs were also destined to be lost if he hadn't sat down one night in 1952 to chronicle his life's journey." - Harry Jacobs 1952There are so many amazing family stories that are never told and are lost in the sands of time. The stories of Harry Jacobs were also destined to be lost if he hadn't sat down one night in 1952 to chronicle his life's journey. His original manuscript, 3 Oceans - from the Baltic to The Atlantic and to The Pacific, sat collecting dust on a few bookshelves for over 60 years, read by only a handful of immediate relatives.In 2017, Harry's great-grandson Jeffrey Slater set out to transform Harry's tales into a biographical novel. For three years, he researched all of Harry's stories, interviewed the last few living relatives who knew Harry and used his extensive family tree to gain knowledge of the man in order to better bring Harry's stories to life without compromising the original manuscript.Not satisfied with the first edition, he felt compelled to dedicate an additional three years to deeply research and uncover more stories of the man using scores of stories, newspaper clippings, and the last words of his, now passed, grandchildren. The result is the complete retelling of The Peddler and his many unpublished journeys.This book is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving our family histories. It is a story of adventure, love, loss, and redemption. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
