Book Description
This remarkable memoir of immigration and assimilation provides a rare view of urban life in Chicago in the late 1800s by a newcomer to the city and the Midwest, and the nation as well. Francis O'Neill left Ireland in 1865. After five years traveling the world as a sailor, he and his family settled in Chicago just shortly before the Great Fire of 1871. His memoir also brings to life the challenges involved in succeeding in a new land, providing for his family, and integrating into a new culture. Francis O'Neill serves as a fine documentarian of the Irish immigrant experience in Chicago.

Book Description
Francis O'Neill left Ireland in 1865. After five years travelling the world as a sailor, he and his family settled in Chicago just before the Great Fire of 1871. As O'Neill looked back on his life, he could give first-hand accounts of the Pullman strike of 1894, the railway strike of 1903 and the packinghouse strike of 1904. Fighting corruption and prejudice, O'Neill rose to be chief of police. In addition to his professional success, O'Neill is also remembered and loved for his hobby, preserving traditional Irish music.

Pages : 178
Book Description
In a prose that is so beautiful it is poetry, we see the world of growing up and going somewhere through the dust and heat of Fresno's industrial side and beyond: It is a boy's coming of age in the barrio, parochial school, attending church, public summer school, and trying to fall out of love so he can join in a Little League baseball team. His is a clarity that rings constantly through the warmth and wry reality of these sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always human remembrances.

Recollections of My Life as a Woman
Author: Diane di PrimaPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0140231587
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
In Recollections of My Life as a Woman, Diane di Prima explores the first three decades of her extraordinary life. Born into a conservative Italian American family, di Prima grew up in Brooklyn but broke away from her roots to follow through on a lifelong commitment to become a poet, first made when she was in high school. Immersing herself in Manhattan's early 1950s Bohemia, di Prima quickly emerged as a renowned poet, an influential editor, and a single mother at a time when this was unheard of. Vividly chronicling the intense, creative cauldron of those years, she recounts her revolutionary relationships and sexuality, and how her experimentation led her to define herself as a woman. What emerges is a fascinating narrative about the courage and triumph of the imagination, and how one woman discovered her role in the world.
