A History of the Poles in America to 1908 - Pt. 4 : Poles in the Central and Western States

This is the fourth and final volume of the translation of Father Waclaw Kruszka's history of the Poles in the United States.

Concentrating on the Polish settlements in the central states - Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas - and the far western states, Kruszka continues his study of the largest Slavic group of the turn-of-the-century immigration.

The volume includes an extensive index of all volumes in the series.

Kruszka was a Catholic priest and Polish nationalist who immigrated to the United States in 1893.

His purpose in writing the "Historya Polska w Ameryca" was to chronicle the history of the Polish communities in America in such a way that their contribution to the development of America and the Church would become widely known.
