Review Quotes
"A model for genealogists, a gift to historians, and a treasure for anyone who loves American portraiture, this magnificently-produced volume sets a new standard for family history. It reveals much not only about John L. Loeb Jr., Adeline Moses Loeb, and the ancestors who shaped them, but also about the American Jewish experience as a whole, from its early colonial beginnings."
--Jonathan Sarna, Brandeis University
