At the age of 6, Feli leaves Italy when his family believe is the right time to get a headstart in business after the civil war, believing America is the right path.
On a farm somewhere in the northern states, a ranch owner plans to invest on a plot of land in the New Mexico territory, preparing to move in the future with his much younger brothers after the Civil War destroy most of their Ranch.
But in a caravan, an Irish Immigrant travels south, teaching her 8 year old son everything she knows..
Feliciano held on to his Grandfather's hand as they departed from Italy on a ship to New York, even after settling in and even as a 6 year old boy, he misses his home, the girls, the mountains, and the smell in the air that only his village had.
At night, he slept with his Grandfather while is older brother, Lovino, toughed it out and slept alone...
. . .
The Ranch owner was done signing and writing letters and was in the process of moving, the Englishman's Ranch had been half destroyed during the civil war and anything refuses to grow, since space is running out in New Mexico territory, he decided to invest.
"Awrter!"
"Hm..?"
The Ranch owner, was met with his younger brother Alfred, who is at least 5.
"Play!" Alfred held his toys.
Arthur smiled and ruffled his hair, "Soon, I just need to finish a few things, go play with Matthew in the meantime."
"Okey!"
And with that, he ran off.
. . .
"Alright, and 2 plus 2 equals..." An Irish women was teaching her son math as they neared their next destination.
"Four?" The boy guess right.
This went on, the mother teaching her son from reading, to singing in Irish, then her second son, who was napping.
Her son was happy, the singer he was and quite charming as well, people on the caravan only said good things about him. His mother was one of the only people he cared about aside from his brother.
He looked out from the wagon, admiring the wildlife, when..
"Henry!"
He crawled to his mother, "Yes mama?"
