Stuck on Ellis Island
When I, Tom Scalabreny, got to Ellis Island was held there acused of stealing around 600$ from a man. I was the one that commited this crime because I needed money. Eventualy they let me got because they couldn't figure out who did it. -
In America
Just because I wanted to save money I didn’t eat much food and I slept in alleys at night. I got sick and had to spent some money for clothes and medience. -
First Job
Finally, me, Tom Scalabreny, got my first job as a newpaper man after stealing food and sleeping in allies for about three months. -
Working on the Railroad
I am now working on the rail roads and I get my food for free. Also, i get ok pay but in the end it will be worth it. -
Free Land Here I Come!
I have been working on the rail road for quite some time now. So I stopped working a left to find out were I can get my free land. -
Free Land Race
I raced to find some good land for me to farm on and after getting beat to the spot i wanted to go I found an even better spot to farm. -
Farming on my New Land
The land out here is rich and perfect for growing corn, potatoes, and wheat. I have bought a few cattle and I now make my own milk. Things are going well. -
Crops
I had done well the first year or two in farming but after a while my products weren't selling as well because everyone else is trying to sell their food too. So i have decided to live off of my land and farm for my self for the rest of my life.
