Good for you Pod.
We didn't come over on the Mayflower, either.
This was the Gilded Age, before government regulation and minimum wage. Before air conditioning, too, on the Florida West Coast. 150 cigars a day, and these were skilled workmen, Samuel Gompers called them "the Aristocracy of Labor". One of my grandfathers might be in that picture, too.
We must never forget what our ancestors went through, because if we do, our descendants will be condemned to have to do it all over again.
