As I close out this first leg of my “Jigsaw Gens” journey, I hope readers will take in my observations from nearly 150 years of American history. Every new generation builds on the successes and failures of its ancestors. The direction in which they’re headed is dependent on how well they understand the triumphs and transgressions of Americans before them.

In the coming months, I intend to profile some of the less noted generational cohorts from the Nineteenth Century and previous centuries. But, for now, let’s turn our attention to our youngest-living generation here in the Twenty-First Century.

My first seven installments profiled:

Hemingrebels (aka “the Lost Generation”)

GI-Gens (aka “the Greatest Generation”)

Traditionalists (aka “the Silent Generation”)

Baby Boomers (aka “Leapers” or “Generation Jones”)

Generation X (aka “Xers” or “Catalanos”)

Generation Y (aka “Millennials” or “EchoGens”)
