Historical Setting: United States, Early 20th Century

America meant "freedom" to the immigrants of the early 1900s—but a freedom very different from what they expected. The cities were crowded. Jobs were scarce. Children had to work selling newspapers, delivering goods, and laboring in sweatshops. This unique book offers a rare glimpse of what it meant to be a young newcomer to America.
