Though unintentional during its writing, Fortitude could be perceived as an antecedent to J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy about poor whites fifty to seventy-five years ago migrating from southeastern Kentucky to southwestern Ohio to find work. This is the story of a German immigrant orphaned at age twelve-my grandfather, George Adam Rentschler who created an industrial empire in Hamilton, Ohio, that employed thousands including hundreds of hillbillies.

It is a story of the fortitude of these four men. Who are the heroes? Read on.
