The practice carried on in a smaller scale well into the nineteenth century.Egan’s Journey is a history of a young man leaving his home in Ireland and moving to America in the eighteenth century. He left his home under the threat of death for scavenging for food for his siblings who were starving.America was a place of salvation, but his knowledge of America was limited to stories he had heard about a place where people lived free, and land could be had by anyone willing to suffer through seven years as an indentured servant. He agreed to those terms and learned that the land you earn must be fought for. Egans Journey by William Wayne Dicksion
