Excerpt from Our Greek Immigrants Greeks are a comparatively recent addition to the complex stream of American life. In 1848 only one Greek arrived in New York. Ten years later there were two. At the close of the Civil War there were less than 100 Greeks in the United States. In 1886 our Consul to Greece reported that there was no emigration from Greece. In 1900 the total number of Greeks amongst us was about equal to the number that Xenophon led in his famous "Anabasis." In a decade this number increased tenfold. In the single year 1914 we received 35,832. There are twice as many Greeks in America as there are in Athens. From ancient days the Greeks have been free, venturesome, seafaring men - bold colonizers whose national epic was a story of cruise and maritime adventure. To this natural wanderlust there was added the economic motive in 1891, when the failure of the currant market struck at the heart of this national industry. That year registered an increase in the number of Greeks seeking fortunes in this new land. In contrast to the Hungarian, Polish and early German immigration, the Greek never left home on account of political oppression or religious persecution.

Excerpt from Greek Immigration to the United States Inasmuch as the book is based almost wholly on per sonal investigation, I am aware that it is open to the inaccuracies which beset that kind of a study. I have selected my sources of information with the greatest care, and have taken pains to avoid making any positive state ments unless I was myself convinced of the truth of them; yet there are undoubtedly errors due to faulty judgment. My hope is that on the whole my opinions and conclusions are not too widely at variance with those which a complete knowledge of all the facts would justify. The same causes have necessitated the frequent use of the first personal pronoun, which is undesirable but unavoidable. In some cases I have felt compelled to suppress the exact identity of my informants, as their position and the nature of the information furnished by them have been such as to lead them to request expressly that their names should not be mentioned.
