Dominique Laxalt was 16 when he left the French Pyrenees for America. He became a sheepherder in the Nevada desert and nearby hills of the Sierra. Like all his fellow Basque immigrants, Dominique dreamed of someday returning to the land of his beginnings. Most Basques never made the journey back, but Dominique finally did return for a visit with family and friends. Sweet Promised Land is the story of that trip, told by his son Robert, who accompanied him to the pastoral mountain village of Tardets in France.

What a great read

I am all too familiar with the Basque community as I have been raised around them, my whole life. I am unfamiliar with being a immigrant from another country. I never understood the hardships until reading about it. This was a good book and I really am grateful to have discovered it.
