(pictorial cloth; no dust jacket) [nice clean book, a good sound copy with just a bit of wear at the spine ends, one-time owner's name and town of residence in blue ink on front endpaper]. (B&W photographic plates) A rebuke to the people "who give unstinted praise to the early pilgrims, [yet] grieve at the incoming tide of foreigners during recent years [and] believe that unless a stop is put to such an inflow we cannot continue to prosper," in the form of short biographies of seven such "foreigners" who made good in America, and then some: John Muir, Jacob Riis, Mary Antin, Edward Alfred Steiner, Carl Schurz, Nathan Straus, and Joseph Pulitzer. Illustrated with full-page photographic portraits of Pulitzer, Antin, Muir, and Straus.
