DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Emigrant's Guide: To the Western States of America; Or, Backwoods and Prairies From the firm woof, not the ravelled edge, of Ameri can society, I have culled my pictures of Western manners, and they are taken from the life. The incidents of this work are true. Of course, I have availed myself of an author's privilege to dress them up in a suitable and readable form. While the painter adheres to nature, it is not forbidden to cast around his groupings the peculiar resources of his art.

Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... my affairs now in hand. The land of oracular wisdom on the subject of "corbies an' pyets," and perhaps turkies too, was, however, beyond the flood; and I only wished I had had a rifle to bid the pair good morning. But I had nobler game in prospect, and I pushed on, in eager pursuit. Arrived at Spoon river, I found the Squire superintending some repairs on his mill-dam, which was constructed of logs, with piles to keep them steady. "Well, Squire, how do you flourish?" "Oh, pretty smart; how's all the folks? You're early out this mornin'; what's to pay?" "Squire, I must have a horse: have you got any on hand?" "Wal, I ougld to hev some. What kind of a thing do you want? Hitch your beast, an' we'll go and take a look round." Proceeding about a quarter of a mile along the bank of the river, in a forty-acre field, we found a whole herd of horses. "Cope-Dolly! Cope-Dickey! Cope-Dickey! CopeDolly!" shouted the Squire, and immediately such a stampedo ensued, as made the plain resound again with the eager hoofs of the promiscuous throng. On came the hurry-scurry of half-wild horses, with flowing tails and dishevelled manes, leaping and plunging, in the direction of the fence where we stood. Their owner now threw them a few handfuls of salt, which they licked up off the ground with great gusto. While this was going on, the Squire asked me if there was any among them I could fancy. "Well, Squire, you are a better judge than I am, and I'll leave it to yourself to say what one would suit me best, I don't want a fancy animal so much as a sound, steady, serviceable thing, of, say five years old, or so."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the second half of the nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of German and Irish immigrants left Europe for the United States. Many settled in the Northeast, but some boarded trains and made their way west. Focusing on the cities of Fort Wayne, Indiana and St Louis, Missouri, Regina Donlon employs comparative and transnational methodologies in order to trace their journeys from arrival through their emergence as cultural, social and political forces in their communities. Drawing comparisons between large, industrial St Louis and small, established Fort Wayne and between the different communities which took root there, Donlon offers new insights into the factors which shaped their experiences—including the impact of city size on the preservation of ethnic identity, the contrasting concerns of the German and Irish Catholic churches and the roles of women as social innovators. This unique multi-ethnic approach illuminates overlooked dimensions of the immigrant experience in the American Midwest.
