''Shall We Emigrate? A Tour Through The States Of America, To The Pacific Coast Of Canada'' is a travelogue written by an anonymous author who refers to himself as ''A Family Man.'' The book was published in 1885 and describes the author’s journey through various states in America, including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, California, and Oregon, before finally reaching the Pacific Coast of Canada. The author provides a detailed account of his experiences and observations during his travels, including descriptions of the landscape, climate, and people he encounters along the way. He discusses the various industries and economies of the different states, as well as the social and cultural differences he notices between regions. Throughout the book, the author also reflects on the question of whether or not he and his family should emigrate to America, weighing the pros and cons of such a decision. He considers factors such as the cost of living, job opportunities, and the overall quality of life in America compared to his home country. Overall, ''Shall We Emigrate?'' provides a fascinating glimpse into America during the late 19th century and offers valuable insights into the motivations and concerns of those considering emigration during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
