"Gregor von Rezzori, the Austrian writer who was raised in Bukovina when it was part of the Austro-Hungarian writes, in his autobiographical novel The Snows of Yesteryear, 'Our lives were lived by our time.'

By tracing the lives of one branch of the James Steel family (Appendix 1) who emigrated from Co. Monaghan to Westmoreland County in western Pennsylvania I hope to show how the Steels were and are products of the historical and political currents of the times and the locations in which they lived."

This article looks at one branch of the James Steel family to show how they were products of the historical and political currents of the times, and of where they lived.
