Description

Join Stephen Graham, a British traveler fluent in Russian, as he embarks on an extraordinary journey in 1913. He sails across the ocean with a group of impoverished Russian and Slavic immigrants, arriving in New York City before making a remarkable cross-country trek to Chicago, much of it on foot. This narrative captures their struggles and triumphs while offering Grahams insightful observations on American life and the diverse perspectives of its people. Through his reflections, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the immigrant experience and the cultural landscape of early 20th-century America. (Summary by Ted Lienhart)
