The port of Galveston invited entry; but to take the plunge into the Hinterland where Yiddish may be an unknown tongue, kosher food an unknown thing, and labor opportunities limited, was left only to the most daring. . . . [The Russian] could make his wants known in his own language in New York and other Eastern cities; and if his wants were dire, his friends and fellow-countrymen were ready to lend a helping hand. The West, on the other hand, loomed chill [sic]. No Yiddish news emanated from it that could . . . reach across the sea. The very names of these cities were almost as unknown in New York as in the Pale. As a result, the Russian immigrant regarded the Hinterland with the same feeling that a child might regard a dark room.21
