"64 päivää suomalaisen siirtokansan keskuudessa Amerikassa" by Lauri Perälä is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the experiences of Finnish immigrants and communities in America, likely blending travel narrative, sociological observation, and cultural reflection. Its focus is on documenting, analyzing, and conveying the realities faced by Finnish expatriates—both their struggles and successes—as well as their adaptation in the vast and rapidly changing American society. The opening of the book sets the stage with an introduction to the author’s journey, inspired and made possible by the encouragement of Akseli Rauanheimo, an advocate for Finnish expatriate welfare. Perälä describes his journey from Finland to America, highlighting the anticipation, uncertainty, and mixed emotions of emigrants departing for a new world. The narrative then shifts to give a sweeping overview of America’s growth, unique culture, and challenges, with pointed commentary on American urban life, economic systems, and the effects of industrialization on both society and the soul. As he arrives in New York, Perälä provides first-hand impressions of the Finnish community there, noting both their struggles with the overwhelming city environment and the specific difficulties many encounter. The section ends as he journeys further inland, contrasting the more hopeful and vibrant Finnish settlements outside the metropolis, such as in Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio, where strong community organizations and cultural pride are evident.
