He travelled steerage on purpose. Stephen Graham crossed the Atlantic in 1913 with the Russian and Polish emigrants he had been walking with in the old country, went through Ellis Island beside them, and then tramped America to see what became of them: the boarding houses, the work, the loneliness, the money sent home. Immigration written from inside the hold.
