SUMMARY
Frank immigrated to America at age ten. Now twenty-eight years old, he wants to visit his homeland to see his childhood friends.
He was not yet a US citizen when he left to visit his homeland. Because of this, he was detained as a legal citizen of the Czech Republic (what was then the Austria-Hungarian Empire when he first left). However, a harrowing ordeal awaited him.
As he was still a citizen of the (now) Czech Republic, he was subsequently forced into military service. He would eventually escape, make his way back to America as a stowaway, but be detained again without papers at Ellis Island. When detained, he was to be sent back to Europe to be shot as a deserter. Now, only last-minute interventions could save him!
Several miraculous events assisted him during his ordeal and afterward.
