Vuittonnet

VUITTONET provides an interesting, informative narrative on how early American politics and its misaligned bureaucracies affected a family of French immigrants during and after the American civil war. The Vuittonnet family went from poverty to wealth in a matter of years - only to lose it all one faithful day in 1921.
This non-fiction genealogical book offers readers a rare perspective of early-day American life through the Vuittonnet family's legacy, local communities, and diverse economic situations.
Eddie Vuittonet depicted a keen, panoramic view of his ancestors' lives and the trials and tribulations they encountered across France, Africa, and the United States.
Over time, ambivalence and other obtuse tendencies toward immigrant autonomy caused a complex environment between "the foreigners" and the "powers that be" - a scenario that, over time, became the norm and not the exception.
