Excerpt from The Soul of an Immigrant Since that night I have had to tell the story hun dreds of times to audiences varying from one person to hundreds of men and women, and from Bath, Maine, to Salt Lake City, Utah. Naturally the tale has grown somewhat longer in the meantime and has acquired many more twists. Everywhere it has evoked interest and, what is far more important.

Book Description
Excerpt from An American in the Making: The Life Story of an Immigrant The average American, when he thinks of im migrants at all, thinks, I am afraid, of something rather comical. He thinks of bundles - funny, pictu resque bundles of every shape and size and color. The alien himself, in his incredible garb, as he walks off the gang-plank, appears like some sort of an odd, moving bundle. And always he carries more bundles. Later on, in his peculiar, transplanted life, he sells nondescript merchandise in fantastic vehicles, does violence to the American's language, and sits down on the curb to eat fragrant cheese and unimaginable sausages. He is, for certain, a character fit for a farce. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Immigrant

Pages : 318
Book Description
Excerpt from The Immigrant: And the Community Americanization of the immigrant has been a popular slogan for the past few years. Gratitude for the wonderful opportunities offered to him has been counted upon as a sufficient incentive to complete assimilation. The patriotic zeal of the foreign-born citizens has been manifested in every crisis; the recently arrived immigrants have not lagged behind. And this has lulled us into the comfortable belief that we have earned their hearty cooperation. A study of the laws, federal and state, and of their actual administration; daily contact for many years with hundreds of newcomers, listening to their tale of exploitation, fraud and abuses, have enabled Miss Abbott to picture most vividly the perils which await these men and women who are ignorant of our language, from the moment they leave Ellis Island, and which we ignorantly or complacently have so long tolerated. This experience has also enabled her to point out the methods of remedying these conditions. Better legislation, wiser administration, and a keener sense of obligation in every citizen are the essentials. How adequately America's duty to the immigrant has been performed is clearly shown in every chapter of the book.

With Poor Immigrants to America (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 380
Book Description
Excerpt from With Poor Immigrants to America Dressed, well housed, comfortable. America is raging against drink, against the exploitation of immigrants, against the fate of the white slave, against any one who has done anything immoral. It will nationally expel a Russian genius like Gorky. It makes great difficulty of admitting to its shores any one who has ever been in prison. It is so in earnest about the future of America that it has set up what is almost an insult to Europe - the ex amination of Ellis Island. Any one who has gone through the ordeal of the poor emigrant, as I did, going into America with a party of poor Russians in the steerage, and has been medically examined and clerically cross-questioned about his life and ethics, knows that America is a materialist and pro gressive country, and that she is no longer a harbour of. Refuge for the weak, but a place where a nation is determined to have health and strength and prosperity.
