But his word turns upside down when an adventurous endeavour with his best friend leads him to a rather disasterous fate - brought back to the old times, the 1700s. To the days of the American Revolution. What a twist of fate this is. This story may include swearing, violence and sometimes inappropriate jokes. Some depictions may not exactly be historically accurate. I don't know much about American history, so bare with me. This story also originally takes place in 2018, because of plot reasons.

"Welcome to the world, moje malá holka: Antoinette." I believe that it is important to keep the stories of our ancestors alive for many reasons, but perhaps the most important reasons are to honor their memory and thank them for their sacrifices. This is a true story of my great-great grandma, Antoinette Šeplová, who was forced to come to America all on her own at the young age of 13 around 1900. Every part of this short, episodic fiction is based on records, old letters, and accounts from family members to piece together her life's story as a Czech immigrant in America. From a Pietist commune in Iowa to the rough neighborhoods of the Chicago South Side, my great-great grandmother's story is one I continue my work unraveling to this day.

Wanting to remain a young, free lady in the colonial American South is simply impossible. You must marry especially if you are part of the Bellemont family, perhaps one of the most wealthy families and producers of tobacco in Virginia. For their daughter, they have arranged a courtship between her and the dashing son of another wealthy family. Forced to comply, the young woman keeps her mouth shut and her mind open, but what happens when this well-off son does unspeakable things to the Bellemont's daughter? Will her family hear her pleas for help, or will she be stuck in a relationship with the vilest of men for all of eternity? With little social skills, extreme verbal abuse, and unbearable physical torture, the wealthiest of daughters confides in an unlikely friend who is there for her because no one else is. There is only one flaw that keeps her from her friend: status. (First Chapter released: January 2021) - Guiseppe's Letters Ongoing

For millions of poor Europeans the dream was America, and the door to the dream was Ellis Island. It is still there: twenty-seven acres of rock in Upper New York Bay, not far from the Statue of Liberty, southwest of the bottom of Manhattan. Originally called Gibbet Island when pirate was hanged there in 1769, it later was renamed after its then owner, Samuel Ellis. Around 1800 the new nation turned it into a fort; the federal government took it over, and for most of the nineteenth century it was known as Fort Gibson. After the Civil War it became an ammunition dump. But in 1892 the deluge of immigrants pouring into America forced its conversion into an immigration station. The original wooden buildings burned in 1897 and a new complex of brick buildings was opened in 1900. It was through the main building, called simply enough the Reception Center, that the grandparents of perhaps a third of present-day Americans passed during the peak years before the First World War. Processing as many as five thousand immigrants a day, the government doctors and inspectors treated the would-be Americans with considerable humanity. Nevertheless, the prospect of passing through the Immigration Center-and the possibility of rejection-struck such terror in the hearts of immigrants that it was known to many as the Island of Tears. Today, it is a wreck and relic. Closed by the government in 1954 and put up for sale, it was left unguarded for ten years, during which time vandals rowed over from the mainland to steal the hardware, the copper flashing from the roof-whatever was not nailed down. Years of leaking roofs crumbled the old plaster; now, parts of the building are unsafe. But one can still wander through the Great Hall and many of it's adjacent rooms. Here amidst the debris stands an old upright piano. There, an ancient Singer sewing machine that might once have been used by some peasant woman to mend the torn shirt of her son as they waited to be processed. - *The Diary of Angelika Baker A Jewish Immigrant Ongoing
