BIOGRAPHICAL Sol Feinstone was born in Lida, originally a town in Lithuania, later part of Poland. He was the son of a Torah scribe. The family was very poor and he dreamed of a better life.

He came to the United States in 1902 when he was fourteen. His ticket was paid for by his brother and sister who had come six months earlier and were working in New York City sweatshops. They bought the ticket for $40, which was to be paid off in $2.00 installments each payday. Passports at that time were issued only for temporary visits involving business, health, or education for those favored by the Czarist government. Therefore, most emigrants left illegally. Feinstone hid in a peasant's cart under a load of hay and was carried to the man's barn, where thirty-five other emigrants, mostly young men trying to escape the Czar's army, were hiding. An agent took them to the German border and gave them passage money to Antwerp for the price of thirty-five rubles.

In New York, he worked in a sweatshop making sleeves for coats. He worked from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and earned $6.00 per week.

He had no elementary or high school education, save fifteen months at a night preparatory school. He began his schooling at the university level, at Syracuse University in 1911 and received his B.A. in 1915. In 1916, he became one of the first Americans to earn an M.A. in Forestry at Syracuse. Then, he went on to spend two years at the University of Pennsylvania in their graduate chemistry department.

He had careers as a teaching fellow in chemistry and as a gentleman farmer, but his fortune came from real estate investments and construction projects. He believed that our economic system was faulty, for it permitted people to profit from inflation. He felt that he should return his "unearned" income to his adopted country in the form of scholarships and contributions for popular education and also by collecting for posterity, meaningful originals of Revolutionary documents. Therefore, he set up several libraries on the American Revolution, one of which is our Sol Feinstone Collection.

He was always a socialist, but he felt very strongly that the repression practiced by Lenin and the Communists who followed after him was wrong. He saw problems with the American economic system, but he loved his adopted country dearly for the freedom it offered to its citizens.
