About This Book
"The first great wave of European migration to the United States before the Civil War transformed both the migrants themselves and the country they entered. The extent of this transformation has been difficult to gauge without information on migrants before and after their departure from Europe.
Yankeys Now: Immigrants in the Antebellum U.S. 1840-1860 provides the first detailed look at how these immigrants were changed by their relocation and how the American economy responded to their arrival."--BOOK JACKET. "Taken as a whole, Ferrie's findings demonstrate the American economy's ability to absorb additions to its workforce while also illustrating the range of opportunities available to nineteenth-century migrants drawn to the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
