The book is organized around the life of a fabulous character of the time, Abraham Cahan. When Cahan became editor of the Jewish Daily Forward, it was a minor Yiddish-language newspaper; at the peak of its career, and of his, it had one of the largest circulations of any newspaper in America."

Great discussion of the Jewish immigrant experience. Explains in detail the rise of Abraham Cahan and the largest Yiddish newspaper, The Daily Jewish Forward. It is a good history of the rise of labor forces from the garment industry.

You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
