Survival in the 1900s
This story is not fiction; although there may be incidents that are unbelievable, this story is true. It is the chronicling of the hardships encountered by one who migrated from rural Alabama to Detroit, Michigan in the 1900s. It gives a vivid account of one who survived the social, economic, and emotional ills of that era as an uneducated-unskilled man. Although our main character is Black, the events that occurred could easily approximate the lives of thousands, if not millions, during that period in American history. It tells of the struggles endured just to survive. More importantly, it shows how determination and fortitude enabled him to not only survive, but to actually thrive. While being entertaining, the story is also historically informative.
