The story of the Sammarinese people in the United States is told here for the first time. The idea for the book was initiated by Livio Capicchioni. Joseph Putti guided the direction of the book from its start. The base of the book are the numerous interviews that were gathered over the years. The book concentrates on Metro Detroit, where the largest number of Sammarinese immigrants are to be found but also includes the story in neighboring Sandusky, Ohio. Metro New York is also featured along with a number of stories from across the country.

Discusses the roles of the French who immigrated to the United States, and the state of Michigan in particular. Although the French came in small numbers, those who did settle in or pass through Michigan played important roles as either permanent residents or visitors.
