Arrived at America. Going through procedures such as getting checked for diseases or diabilities.

Detained at Ellis Island. Did not have much money and had no job for 2 years
-
Finally leaving Ellis Island to start a new life in New York. Found a job that is good enough to pay for food and a place
-
Lost my job as plucking chicken feathers and trying to find a new job in Chicago and to get the land of my dreams
-
Finally got enough money to travel to the place where free land is given. When I got there, they said we had to race for the land. I did not know how to ride a horse. But, I got a horse that was fast as the wind.
-
Today all the people wanting land are going to race. Cannot believe how many people there are.
-
I have got it! I have found my true place to settle. It is a green lush, huge piece of land. This was what I been dreaming of. Took out the flag and put my flag in. This is where I will start my brand new life of farming.

I am having a succesful farming industry and I am making a lot of money and hiring many immigrants to work for me.
