A shrewd and sympathetic observer of his fellow passengers, he describes with clarity and precision the conditions in steerage and then on the trains that took them across the United States. The result is the best account of the great European adventure of the 19th century--the passsage to the New World.
As Jonathan Raban remarks, "It is the best book he ever wrote--a marvelous piece of writing, lakelike in its lucidity and depth, a genuine original."
