| Summary |
"With Poor Immigrants to America" by Stephen Graham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the experiences of poor immigrants arriving in America, offering a detailed observation of their journeys and struggles. It illustrates the challenges faced by these newcomers as they seek better lives while contrasting American ideals with their own cultural backgrounds and experiences. The opening of the book introduces the author's perspective as he describes the contrast between his experiences in Russia and America. It begins with the author's pilgrimage as he follows a group of Russian peasants from their traditional roots to the New World. Through his observations, Graham captures the spirit and hopes of these immigrants as they navigate the complexities of departure, the journey across the ocean, and their arrival in New York. The portrayal of their initial bewilderment upon entering this new land, as well as their interactions with fellow travelers and agents, sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the American immigrant experience.
