| MKI Annotation | "A historical account of 19th century immigration that accurately shares its hardships and in this case - tragedies. Poor emigrants who sailed to America in the 1860s usually made the trip in the steerage deck - where the conditions were quite unpleasant for a month-long voyage."--worldcat record. |
