Albert Poirier

20th Century Life Albert Poirier

Albert E. Poirier, Sr., a member of the ""Greatest Generation"", wrote this memoir detailing the roots of his French-Canadian history, his childhood in the working-class town of Fall River, his schooling in far-off Canada, and his service in the United States Army during World War Two. While originally intended for his family alone, the publication of this memoir provides readers an opportunity to discover the world of an uncommon 20th century young man. Albert Poirier passed away before being able to complete his life memoir, but his grandson has edited this edition so as to share his grandfather's story for all to enjoy.
