The Pioneer Maniates of Newark, N.J. by John Antonakos
The Greeks first started to emigrate to America in large numbers after 1900. This book is about those Greeks who emigrated from the district of Mani, Laconia between 1900 and 1930. The Greek American community that evolved here had three parts: a parish of the Orthodox Church, a chapter of the Order of A.H.E.P.A., and numerous regional societies. This book gives a cross section of the lives of these Maniates and their families. They were very industrious and of high moral character. They instilled these virtues into their children, so that today they have become leaders in science, commerce, industry, education and government.
John Antonakos is a retired electrical engineer who holds degrees in physics and electrical engineering. He was employed as an electrical engineer for over forty years, thirty-two of which were with the United States Army at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey. He has always been interested in philology, history, ethnography, and biography. Being of Greek background, he is especially interested in exploring his roots. This has resulted in his writing five books covering Greek language, history, and biography. He has also written a book expounding his philosophy. His reading has developed in his mind that for a person to live properly, he must read widely. This book is an effort to present to readers the classical literature of the world in compact form, so that they may more readily become aware of it.
