Getting to the United States of America
I move to america because my family was poor and I was the younger child that no one cared about. I hope to seek a farm and money when I get to america. After what seemed a life time I finally got off the boat and took my first steps in a different contry other than Ireland. http://www.olstars.com/images/flags/Big/us.gif -

The hotels and people are starting to not exept Irish.
The hotel and job I have been staying at for the past year is no longer exepting the Irish, so I got kicked out and am now homeless.This is because there are to many Irish people immigrating. I will have to find a new job and hotel which probably won't be as good as the job I had before. http://petercavanaugh.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/no-irish-need-apply.gif -
News of possible free land in the Oklahoma territory
I have a really bad job making the railroad it pays ok but the money is not worth the pain. I have been saving money for along time not sure what I'm going to use it on but, there is rumors of free land give away in the Oklahoma territory by a reliable source and if there is any chance of free land I want to be the first person to have it, so I bought suplies in preperation. http://watchdog.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2012/11/Oklahoma-state-flag1-286x224.png -
Getting my land
The rumors ended up true there will be a land give away. It had been a while since I checked on the suplies I bought a few years ago but they still work. When I got there it was literally a race for the land. I got some land up on a hill near a river it will be good for a farm. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Oklahoma_Land_Rush.jpg -
