Synopsis

The Making Of An American by Jacob A. Riss is a memoir that tells the story of the author's journey to America and his experiences as an immigrant in the late 19th century. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Riss's childhood and early years in Russia, and the second part detailing his life in America.In the first part, Riss describes his upbringing in a Jewish family in Russia, including his education, his family's struggles with poverty and anti-Semitism, and his eventual decision to leave Russia for America. He also discusses his experiences as a young journalist and activist, working to improve the lives of the poor and oppressed in Russia.In the second part, Riss recounts his arrival in America and his experiences as an immigrant in New York City. He describes his struggles to find work and build a new life in a foreign country, as well as his involvement in social and political movements aimed at improving the lives of immigrants and working-class Americans.Throughout the book, Riss provides a vivid and detailed portrait of life in late 19th century America, including the challenges and opportunities faced by immigrants, the political and social issues of the day, and the cultural and economic changes that were transforming the country. The Making Of An American is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers a unique perspective on the immigrant experience and the American dream.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
