    1856 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mark Wyman, the author of the brief essay known as Coming and Going: Round-Trip to America, had a different perspective about immigration to America from the various counties during the 1880’s through the 1930’s.

He believed that countless immigrates, which came from all over the world, actually only
