Book Description
Excerpt from America's Successful Men of Affairs, Vol. 2: An Encyclopedia of Contemporaneous Biography New York city is a great commercial and financial center and the gateway through which rolls an enormous traffic by sea and land. The pursuits of her people relate mainly to trade, transportation, manufactures, the construction of buildings and development of the ever growing city and its suburbs, and to banking, finance and the management of corporations. It is an old, settled, prosperous and refined community and the home of several millions of people. Beyond the metrop olis, there are, indeed, other great cities, but it may fairly be said, that, in the United States at large, man is brought closer to nature and to the vast and even yet only partially developed resources of America's magnificent domain. A greater variety of pursuits give occupation to the people and enlist the interest of the leaders of industry. The struggle for success is yet attended, in some parts of the country, with personal hardship, unusual excitement and even danger; and it follows that the biographies in Volume II., taken as a whole, present a greater variety of experience, are intrinsically more entertaining, and perhaps hold up to View a truer picture of American life than those of the companion volume. The keynote Of this work is success in business and practical affairs. Little or no attention is paid the lives Of men whose prominence is due solely to wealth, inherited from a preceding generation, and none at all, unless the possessor of large means has performed actions of merit and made a name through his own labors and ability. In the preparation of all the sketches, the Editor has received cordial aid from individuals and families, to whom he acknowledges indebtedness, and it is thought that the biographies are all substantially correct.

Pages : 271
Book Description
A National Bestseller! What does an undocumented immigrant look like? What kind of family must she come from? How could she get into this country? What is the true price she must pay to remain in the United States? JULISSA ARCE knows firsthand that the most common, preconceived answers to those questions are sometimes far too simple-and often just plain wrong. On the surface, Arce's story reads like a how-to manual for achieving the American dream: growing up in an apartment on the outskirts of San Antonio, she worked tirelessly, achieved academic excellence, and landed a coveted job on Wall Street, complete with a six-figure salary. The level of professional and financial success that she achieved was the very definition of the American dream. But in this brave new memoir, Arce digs deep to reveal the physical, financial, and emotional costs of the stunning secret that she, like many other high-achieving, successful individuals in the United States, had been forced to keep not only from her bosses, but even from her closest friends. From the time she was brought to this country by her hardworking parents as a child, Arce-the scholarship winner, the honors college graduate, the young woman who climbed the ladder to become a vice president at Goldman Sachs-had secretly lived as an undocumented immigrant. In this surprising, at times heart-wrenching, but always inspirational personal story of struggle, grief, and ultimate redemption, Arce takes readers deep into the little-understood world of a generation of undocumented immigrants in the United States today- people who live next door, sit in your classrooms, work in the same office, and may very well be your boss. By opening up about the story of her successes, her heartbreaks, and her long-fought journey to emerge from the shadows and become an American citizen, Arce shows us the true cost of achieving the American dream-from the perspective of a woman who had to scale unseen and unimaginable walls to get there.
