The Quest for Land & Fortune, a work of narrative nonfiction, by
Alfred Allan Schmid, traces the great themes of the American experience through
five generations of actual interconnected families whose patriarchs and their
intrepid wives could never be satisfied with the status quo. Whether led by
their ideals or propelled by the yearning for more land or greater fortunes,
these immigrants and plantation owners, Unionists and Rebels, agrarians and
industrialists shaped their emerging nation even as they were shaped by
seemingly greater forces.
