"From the Many" recounts a real life journey from the Abruzzo region of Italy through the boom times of America's early 20th century where an ambitious 17-old-year begins life in America dynamiting tunnels, finding people to emulate and marrying a beautiful young Americanized Italian woman. It is the story of a self-made man whose talents, accomplishments and associations ensured great success, but often caused painful hurt as his family assimilated into American life.
