Book Description
A richly texture portrait of ten generations of Anglo-Saxon strivers compelled by necessity and nurturance to be community builders. Spanning nearly the entirety of American history and touching on nearly every geographical section of the country, The Severances describes in remarkable detail how each successive generation of a family whose arrival on these shores predated America's founding met the challenges of its time and place, built on the sacrifices and gains of forebears, chose to enjoy mounting success, implanted family traditions and beliefs, and endeavored to give something back to society. Inheritors of their Puritan ancestors' ambition of creating a model żcity upon a hill,ż the Cleveland branch of the family assembled one of 19th-century America's impressive fortunes and made their name locally synonymous with outsized philanthropic gestures, most notably the Depression-era gift to the people of Cleveland of Severance Hall, the magnificent home of The Cleveland Orchestra.
