Publisher's Synopsis
"Spain's Footprints in Philadelphia" brings to life an unknown Colonial history in the city. It is a recount of almost forgotten historic happenings, carried out by people from Spain in the city of Philadelphia. It is an authentic display of information, a touching story narrated by someone with experience as an immigrant from Spain in North America. Without being an extensive work of investigation, it is indeed an interesting attempt to chronologically describe the daily steps taken by Spaniards that somehow left behind an indelible set of footprints worth mentioning. Their stories were often ignored, but not forgotten in the memory of those who are fond of the past. In a way this book is a dedication to those who helped to mold the American frame and maintain the "Spanish torch" lit while away from their homeland of Spain.
