- Title
"Yankeys Now"?: Joseph and Rebecca Hartley's Circuitous Path to American Identity-A Case Study in the Use of Immigrant Letters as Social Documentation.
- Authors
GERBER, DAVID A.
- Abstract
The article presents a case study of two English immigrants in the U.S., Joseph Hartley and Rebecca Hartley, by using their letters. The letters of the two, as stated, show a change of national allegiance and ethnic identity. An analysis of Joseph and Rebecca's understanding of the U.S. as the place of realizing their dreams relative to England, which they have left, and of their pursuit of English ethnicity in their home in New York is presented.
