"An American in the Making, the Life Story of an Immigrant" is a 1917 autobiography by Marcus Eli Ravage, who emigrated from Rumania to New York in 1900 at the age of 16. Ravage worked in a sweatshop sewing sleeves into shirts during the day and attending lectures and the theatre at night. He believed that the sweatshop was the cradle of liberty and his first university. The book is a testament to the transformative power of education and how it helped him transition from being an "alien" to an American. It is an inspiring story of an immigrant's journey to success in America."
