Daniel and Julia Arwine, early settlers in Hurst, provide the beginning of a rich heritage of their offspring, many of which remain in the Mid-Cities area. The story begins in 1865 when Daniel and Julia Arwine brought their family to Hurst, in a covered wagon from Indiana. Contained in the book are also stories of the early history of the descendants of Jim Anderson. It is the attempt of the family descendants to present our family from early pioneer life in Hurst, as well as to capture a bit of the life in the fast lane of the nineties. It is with a debt of love and gratitude to the family members who have contributed pictures and stories to make this undertaking possible. This book has been compiled with the most accurate information available at the time of printing. Any corrections (Please include page number to be corrected) can be sent to Bill Hoffman, 6504 Boulder Court, North Richland Hills, Texas 76180 or Email to [email protected].

  • Broadway 1 a (1893-1927) BROADWAY and the AMERICAN DREAM
    EPISODE ONE Give My Regards to Broadway 1 A (1893-1927) BROADWAY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM In the 1890s, immigrants from all over the world came to the great ports of America like New York City to seek their fortune and freedom. As they developed their own neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves, some of the new arrivals took advantage of the stage to offer ethnic comedy, dance and song to their fellow group members as a much-needed escape from the hardships of daily life. Gradually, the immigrants adopted the characteristics and values of their new country instead, and their performances reflected this assimilation. “Irving Berlin has no place in American music — he is American music.” —composer Jerome Kern My New York (excerpt) Every nation, it seems, Sailed across with their dreams To my New York.
