Leaving Home
I have left home in seek of a fair world. My motherland has been taken over by Nicholas II transforming Russia into a place of suffering. War is bound to break out soon and I must go. I leave for America tomorrow. -
Period: to
Jurek Fedorov's Journy

Finding Work
I have managed to get into the Americas, and found a job in gold mining in California. The conditions are terrible but at least I can provide for myself. -
Exclusion
Once I arrived I learned of the exclusion act, with no Chinese to help me work. The already horrible conditions got even worse for us few still left. -
Finding a place
I have found a place to stay after the poor week of exhausting work. I found a small house that I could by, maybe a house is a stretch… more of a shack. -
Fired!
While I was working in the mines a cave-in erupted breaking my foot, I was fired since I couldn’t do the job anymore. -
Moving east
I can’t provide for myself anymore, I have used what money I had left and I am setting for to the east for some work. -
Going for land
I went to go get land, turns out it was all taken… I was sad don’t get me wrong, but I have to keep moving. I need to find work if I am going to make it. -
Finding a job
I got another job in Colorado’s silver mines. I guess my history in the mining business made me a good choice over the other people . -
Promotion
I think the company has a policy that a year of work gets you a promotion. Either that you did a good job, or are still alive. Anyways instead of mining, I supervise. -
Settled down
I found a nice wife, got a house after working off my promotion. So I think I made it well in the New world. I just hope I don’t go to war.
