Excerpt from The Making of an American
IT is difficult for me to write of Jacob Riis only from the public standpoint. He was one of my truest and closest friends. I have ever prized the fact that once, in speaking of me, he said, Since I met him he has been my brother. I have not only admired and respected him beyond measure, but I have loved him dearly, and I mourn him as if he were one of my own family.

The Outlook, the chapter telling of my going home to mother in The Churchman, and parts of one or two others in The Century Magazine. To those who have been asking if they are made-up stories, let me say here that they are not. And I am mighty glad they are not. I would not have missed being in it all for anything. J. A. R. RICHMOND HILL, N.Y., October,

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This autobiography opens with a fateful meeting on a bridge in Ribe, Denmark, between the author and the girl who would become his wife. The author immigrated to the United States in 1870 with dreams of adventure and opportunity. His work as a carpenter at the Bradys Bend Iron Works in Pennsylvania sets him on a path of personal and professional challenges. The author's journey offers a glimpse into the immigrant experience, the struggle to find one's place in a new land, and the power of love and determination to overcome obstacles. Through rich descriptions of the landscape, the author weaves a tapestry of interconnected themes: the importance of community, the complexities of identity, and the transformative nature of the American dream. The book offers a unique and deeply personal perspective on the making of an American.
