Turn of the century America was an exciting time to be alive. There were so many new things happening and new idea which were not only impacting the country but the world. Yet, this progress was often times made on the backs of the common man, without an appreciation for their contribution to the overall good. The burgeoning industrial age gave rise to the robber barons which subsequently gave rise to unions being created in order to protect the rights of workers.
It is against this backdrop that Mr. Pingalabor sets out to understand who the real heroes are and what it means to be heroic. Family, friends, and employment combine to reveal the essence of his questions and lead him to thought provoking answers. As an oddity himself he observes the world around him from a unique vantage point and attempts to summarize his learnings in a series of pithy maxims. Mr. Pingalabor's sense of humor combined with his introspective meditations result in an unusual tale that takes place within everyday life.
