AMERICA'S IMMIGRANTS: ADVENTURES IN EYEWITNESS HISTORY, Rhoda Hoff, hardcover with price-clipped dust jacket, 1967. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. No bookplate or signature of prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The blue cloth boards are in good condition (light bumping at top of spine, two tiny indentations on top edge of front and back cover). The dust jacket is in fair condition (tears along upper edge). 9 ½ x 6 ½, 156 pages, 16 ounces XX [From the inner flaps] “Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists" (Franklin Delano Roosevelt). “During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, more than forty-three million immigrants have come to the United States from countries throughout the world. Here is the story of that mass migration, told by men and women who themselves were a part of it. In letters, poems, advertisements, journals, public documents and publications, more than forty immigrants give eyewitness testimony of their experiences. An English Sea captain tells of life aboard ship during the voyage to America; and Louis Adamic describes his reception at the immigrant depot, Ellis Island. In a letter to her mother in Norway, Guri Endresen writes of the dangers of frontier life; and in his diary, a young German student at Princeton recalls a meeting with his fellow countryman Albert Einstein. Each excerpt has a brief introduction by Rhoda Hoff. The selections represent many nationalities and describe many places, from New York's Lower East Side to the gold mines of Oregon. The sum is a vivid, personal view of the immigrant experience and of the country in which it occurred.”.…
