Title: Generations of a family and their quest for freedom.
Review: The Leather Pouch examines five generations of the Regnier family surviving hardship, oppression, and famine. A member of the Regnier family makes a leather pouch and declares that each generation should save what they can to put in the pouch so that eventually, a family member would have passage to America. The family history is told by the member of the family, Simon de Regnier, who finally travels to America. Simon is faced with the horrors of crossing the Atlantic, the havoc of the Civil War, and imprisonment in Libby Prison. Throughout the book the evident theme is how greed destroys but familys survive.
