Synopsis
Excerpt from Personal Recollections and Travels at Home and Abroad, Vol. 2
A tour to and among the tropics - a return crossing of the continent from California, taking in the interesting spanish-american States of the far Southwest - a short sojourn in the nearby county of Lancaster - mainly furnish the material for this volume, the fifth of my dropping into book authorship and the second of my Personal Recollections and Travels. The first recounts my youthful adventures in a journey across the plains and mountains of the Far West to the Pacific; much of my last literary venture concerns a voyage towards the Southern Cross, companionless, and in my seventy-eighth year.

Personal Recollections and Travels at Home and Abroad, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the fascinating memoirs of James Welsh, an Irish immigrant lad who arrived penniless in New York in 1848. After taking on temporary work in a brickyard, James eventually headed further west on the expanding Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad. Unable to secure employment due to his Irish heritage and the railroad's negative reputation, James eventually encountered a Quaker family in rural Pennsylvania who took him in and treated him as one of their own. In James's narrative, readers will experience the nuances of mid-19th-century life in rural Pennsylvania, including the strict rules of the Quaker faith, the Quakers' firm stance against slavery, and the prevalence of racism against the Irish. Through his firsthand accounts and personal anecdotes, James brings to life the challenges faced by immigrants in the United States during this time period, and explores themes of prejudice, hardships, and the power of human kindness. James's unique story provides valuable insights into the social, economic, and religious landscape of a nation still wrestling with its identity and grappling with the complex moral questions of its time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333469078_0
