Option 3: Collections: IMMIGRANT VOICES late 1800s through mid-1900s

--Rose Gollup, writing in 1891

We were deathly seasick the first three days. During that period I was conscious.. only part of the time. I remember that once when I opened my eyes I seemed to see the steamer turn to one side and then disappear under water. Then I heard voices screaming, entreating [begging], praying. I thought we were drowning, but I did not care. Nothing mattered now.

On the fourth day, I became again interested in life. From Castle Garden, we drove to our new home in a market wagon filled with immigrants' bedding. I looked about in bewilderment (wonder). My thoughts were chasing each other. I felt a thrill: "Am I really in America at last?" But the next moment. I felt a little disappointed, a little homesick. Father was so changed. He told me he would take me to his own shop and teach me part of his own trade. He was a men's coat finisher. He made me understand that if we worked steadily and lived economically we should soon have money to send for those at home. "Next year at this time," he smiled, "you yourself may be on the way to fetch mother and the children." So I too smiled at the happy prospect, wiped some tears away and resolved [decided] to work hard.
