Book Overview

Bread Winners Abroad is a book written by Robert Percival Porter and published in 1885. The book is a collection of stories and observations about the lives of American expatriates living in Europe during the late 19th century. Porter, who was himself an expatriate, provides a vivid and insightful account of the challenges and rewards of living abroad, including the cultural differences, language barriers, and social customs that can make life in a foreign country both exciting and difficult. The book also explores the economic and political factors that led many Americans to seek their fortunes overseas, including the growing industrialization of the United States and the opportunities presented by the rise of the European empires. Through his stories and observations, Porter provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these early American expatriates and the ways in which they navigated the complexities of life abroad.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
