Abel Herrera in Lewiston State Bank
In a very real sense immigrants -- past and present, in cities as well as rural areas -- are also pioneers.Nearly all our forebears have moved out into unfamiliar territory, working long hours at ofttimes back-breaking labor while contending more often than not with an unfamiliar language, always faced with new customs and laws - and then eventually overlaying all this with contributions from their own folkways and work ethics.It's what makes the United States as culturally rich as it is; it's what makes the history of places like Lewiston so appealing.
Many thanks to Frank and Margaret Herrera and their son Abel for their unstinting help in this piece; also thanks to Colleen Durrant, Phyllis Bair, Clyde Littledike, and Jonette Wheeler for statistical help, and to Melanie and Alan Shaw for their textual criticism and skill in graphics.
