About the Book

Cuban Bread Crumbs is a memoir of growing up in Ybor City, Florida as the son of Spanish immigrant parents. In the period before and after World War II, the Spanish, Cuban and Italian immigrants of Ybor City provided the labor for the cigar industry that dominated the local economy. Overcoming prejudice and poverty, the immigrants blended their customs to form a unique community that changed the face of Florida and ultimately the United States.

"This is a wonderful book written by a man highly respected here in Tampa. My wife, Dorinda Garcia Davison, has purchased two of these books in the recent past and we both highly recommend it as interesting and authoritative. It's a book that should be in anyone's library."

My family & I (I was a teen) were entertained by this enigmatic & delightful man. Many years later i had the good fortune to work with his son, Christopher in the postal service. I'm now 79 & read this wonderful, memory filled book. I'm thankful for Jack writing & putting together this book. Danny Alvarez, born in West Tampa 1943

"Jack Espinosa's book, Cuban Bread Crumbs, is a treasure. My wife, Dorinda Garcia Davison, of Ybor City, Tampa, and West Tampa, purchased two copies,and I have been privileged to get to read it, and I often refer back to it. Mr. Espinosa has written this collection of true stories having to do with this wonderful section of Tampa, Ybor City, and how the Cubans, Sicilians, and Spaniards, lived and worked together. It is a wonderful historical piece by someone who has actually ""LIVED"" it. What a book, what a great man, to have taken the time to share with the world something that can go down through the generations as a book that is vital to the great history of this very interesting and important section of Tampa. I highly recommend this book! I also recommend that you get his autograph!"
