Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cechs (Bohemians) In America: A Study of Their National, Cultural, Political, Social, Economic and Religious Life I do not describe Gech America as a tourist who passes hurriedly through a foreign country and records the impressions Of the moment; I write as a close relative, a member Of the family, who for thirty-nine years has lived uninterruptedly in Cech America or very close to its border. I know it in its holiday attire and in its working clothes. I know its faults, which are many, and its virtues, which, I like to think, outweigh them. A residence Of seven years in Omaha, spent partly in a newspaper Office, partly in a law Office, gave me a rare Opportunity to Observe at close range the evolution Of the virile settler Of the Middle West, while life in large cities (in New York since 1894) has brought me in direct and daily contact with the men and women who live in those queer but cozy corners Of America called, somewhat patronizingly, foreign quarters.
