About this ebook
He didn't immigrate through Ellis Island. His journey began on a Russian battleship in the Pacific.
His first job wasn't in the New York sweatshops. It was laboring on the Canadian Northern Railway from Edmonton to Quebec.
Astride two worlds, assimilation was a problem. But values learned early in his life led him to amazing consequences.
