Author refers to item as a historical novel. "To use only provable facts to record the family history would not give the reader a sense of what happened as the first generation of Dapolonias born in the United States lived their version of the American Dream. Instead, I have taken a skeleton of historical data and filled in the body of what may have happened."--Vol. 1, pref. "Like Volume II, Volume III is factual within the limits of human perception."--Vol. 3, pref.
