Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American of the Future: And Other Essays One Monday in the spring of 1906 a New York morning paper recorded the fact that "ten thousand men, women and children, immigrants from all sections of the globe, were inside New York harbor before sundown yesterday, as many more were on big immigrant vessels reported off Sandy Hook and three times ten thousand on other vessels little more than two hundred miles from port. All told, at least fifty-two thousand immigrants will have reacht port by Thursday morning, the largest number that has yet come to New York at one time." The new-comers belonged to many different nationalities. Some came from Great Britain and Ireland; some from Germany and Austria; some from Russia and Poland; and more from Italy. The reporter noted that there were also a few French and a few Arabians. More than fifty thousand in four days! - and these were only the advance guard of the host that followed fast all thru the lengthening days of the spring months.
