Forget any stereotype you might have of an old bearded Jewish peddler at the bottom of the socioeconomic pecking order. The itinerant peddlers described by Hasia Dinar in the fascinating, well-documented Roads Taken, are adventuresome young men eager to explore a new world far different from the one in which they grew up. They are like the little tailor in the fairy tales, out to seek their fortune by relying on their wits and pluck. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved
