Grisham Settlers in United States in the 20th Century Thomas Grisham, aged 30, who immigrated to the United States, in 1893.John Grisham, aged 10, who settled in America, in 1893.Grisham Settlers in United States in the 19th Century Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Grisham were among those contributors: Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. The result is a charming fish-out-of-water story.To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. The writing sometimes lapses into travel-guide (""most Italian cities are sort of configured around a central square, called a piazza"") and food porn (""[the veal cutlets are beaten with a small bat, then dipped in eggs, fried in a skillet, and then baked in the oven with a mix of parmigiano cheese and stock until the cheese melts""), but it's invigorated by appealing characters and lively play-by-play. Rick is first baffled and then enchanted by all things Italian-tiny cars! opera! benign corruption!-and through him Grisham (The Firm) instructs his readership in the art of gracious living, featuring sumptuous four-hour, umpteen-course meals. The book is also the author's love letter to Italy. What ensues is a winsome football fable, replete with team bonding and character-building as the underdog Panthers challenge the powerhouse Bergamo Lions for a shot at the Italian Superbowl. Fleeing vengeful fans, he finds refuge in the grungiest corner of professional football, the Italian National Football League as quarterback of the inept but full-of-heart Parma Panthers. Third-string Cleveland Browns quarterback Rick Dockery becomes the greatest goat ever by throwing three interceptions in the closing minutes of the AFC championship game.
