Harry Bliss.
Newlywed Solomon (author Snyder's grandfather) leaves turn-of-the-twentieth-century Russia for America. Soon he's earned enough to bring wife Anna over...but her younger brother steps off the ship. They earn enough for another passage...and Anna sends her older brother. Eventually the two lovebirds are reunited. Snyder's text is full of humor, as are Bliss's (Snyder's son-in-law) pictures, showing Old-World scenes but with a bright, digital look.
