OverviewThe drive for assimilation in millions of US immigrants has buried many of our origins and the hobby of Genealogy has only recently gained widespread interest. Pioneers is a look at one immigrant family, the Kearneys, whose journey through a new land culminated in a stint in the Whitehouse. This is the incredible story of how the nation's first African-American President is also a direct descendent of post-famine Irish immigrants. Barack Obama has referred to his mother, Ann Dunham, as the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics. This unique book tells the quintessential American story of her Irish ancestry: of her great-great-grandfather who emigrated from the small village of Moneygall, Ireland to the Scioto Valley in Ohio, and of his relatives who made the journey before him. This is the very real story of the 43rd President's ancestors, and their American Dream.
