264 pages. Author's signature atop title page. "Our family story reads like none other. This Smith saga takes us from poor pioneers to feisty farmers; from Senators to Brigadiers; from local fruit processing to a national manufacturer to a growing North American family firm. When I realized our history included war, fire, the Great Depression, family dissension, bravery under attack, successes, failures, innovation and vision, I wanted to pass it all on to my children.

It is the framework from which all the adventures stem, and they are considerable." - Author Unmarked. Moderate wear. Prior owner's business card affixed inside front cover.
