Publisher's Synopsis

""Adrift In America: Or Work And Adventure In The States"" is a memoir written by Cecil Roberts, an Englishman who traveled to the United States in the early 20th century. The book details Roberts' experiences as he worked various jobs, from ranch hand to hotel clerk, in different parts of the country. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters and situations, including a memorable encounter with a cowboy in Texas and a dangerous mining job in Arizona. Through his travels, Roberts gains a deeper understanding of American culture and the challenges faced by those trying to make a living in a new land. The book offers a unique perspective on life in the United States during a time of great change and explores themes of adventure, work, and the pursuit of the American Dream.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
