“We collected on the quay at Liverpool--English, Russians, Jews,
Germans, Swedes, Finns.... Three hundred yards out in the harbor stood
the red funneled Cunarder which was to bear us to America....” The
beginning of the voyage is thus described, a voyage during which the
reader sees life from a new angle. The trip across is, however, but the
forerunner of even more interesting days. Stephen Graham has the spirit
of the real adventurer and the story of his intimate association with
the immigrants is an intensely human and dramatic narrative, valuable
both as literature and as a sympathetic interpretation of a movement
which too frequently is viewed only with unfriendly eyes.
“Mr. Graham has the spirit of the real adventurer. He prefers people to
the Pullmans, steerage passage to first cabin. In his mingling with the
poorer classes he comes in contact intimately with a life which most
writers know only by hearsay, and interesting bits of this life and
that which is picturesque and romantic and unlooked for he transcribes
to paper with a freshness and vividness that mark him a good mixer
with men, a keen observer and a skillful adept with the pen.”--_North
American._
