ONE WAY OUT: A Middle-Class New Englander Emigrates To America

We can speculate whether Carleton's personal solutions to immigration and an inflationary economy would work today but in this 1911 novel they worked for Carleton, a middle-aged, middle class New Englander deeply in debt. Carleton, with his wife and young son, moved from the middle class part of the city to the docks where they joined the stream of immigrants entering the country and going with this crowd, ended up in a tenement apartment full of immigrants. In 1911, the immigrants were Italian and other southern Europeans. First edition, fourth printing (in March, 1911 two monthjs after 1st.). About 5 x 7 1/2 inches, 303 pages in red cloth-covered boards with title and author stamped in gold on front cover. Sorry, no dustjacket. This copy has seen extensive wear but remains whole and complete. Boards' color has faded and printing on spine is difficult to read. Text edges are soiled and front end page has previous owner's names in pencil and ink. Spine ends are bumped and worn but hinges are firm and unbroken. This copy is not a show piece, but a survivor. If you are looking for an original this is one of a very scarce few.…
