America.

The study covers Croatian fishing and related activities in America. The
Gulf Coast includes Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. The
Pacific Coast covers California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Western
Canada. Other subjects include Shipyards and Boatbuilders, Inventions,
Fish and Oyster Saloons and Restaurants, Captains, Mariners, Disasters
and Islands, Discovery, Naval, Piracy and War. Numerous Biographies and
a substantial Bibliography.
The Index is by Name, Date,
Occupation or Activity, Location, Town of Origin and Reference Source
and was abstracted from cemeteries, voting registers, census, society
records, church records, city directories and other sources. Includes
11,000 individuals.
A major
accomplishment of this study was to properly identify Croatian
immigrants as Croatians from Croatia. From 1750 to 1999 almost all
Croatians in the South and West were recorded on official documents as
Austrian, Turkish, Italian, Venetian, Hungarian, Yugoslav and locally as
Slavonians.
Reading this book will leave one with the
impression that they were and are Croatians. Very little reference is
made to a person having come from Austria, Yugoslavia etc as a country,
and when reference was found of such, it was changed to Croatia.
The author
endeavored to identify the immigrant’s exact place of birth, if
possible. Most came from Dalmatia and Istria. Identification was most
difficult from 1750-1920 due to misspelling of names by American Census
takers, Voting Registers, Cemeteries and other official records.
