Westward the Immigrants: Italian Adventurers and Colonists in an Expanding America by Andrew F. Rolle (USA)Description; Here is a colorful alternative to the view that America's immigrants were uprooted, defenseles pawns adrift in a sea of confusion and despair. Taking the members of one nationality as a prototype, {Westward the Immigrant} (originally published as {The Immigrant Upraised}) traces the social, political, and economic progress of Italian immigrants after they deserted New York's crowded Mulberry Street for more rewarding pursuits in the twenty-two states west of the Mississippi.
