Footprints of Polonia is an outstanding look at the way that Polish Americans have transformed America's cities, suburbs, and towns. It is an essential guide to the physical impact of one of the country's largest ethnic groups. -Dominic A. Pacyga, author of American Warsaw: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Polish Chicago Poles have been building our country ever since Kosciuszko designed West Point. This is a story of great Polish American places of faith, fortune and fellowship. -Mark Dillon, 1st Vice President, American Council for Polish Culture North America's Polish heritage is not monolithic, nor can it be discovered and enjoyed on one trip, in a single place, or in a single day. This guide will facilitate your discovery of that legacy. -Stanislaus A.
