About the author

Samuel Joseph was an early 20th-century writer and scholar best known for Jewish Immigration to the United States from 1881 to 1910, published in 1914. The work was issued through Columbia University as a Ph.D. thesis and later circulated widely enough to remain available in major public-domain and library collections.

Contemporary references to the book identify him as Samuel Joseph, Ph.D., and describe him as an instructor at Commercial High School in Brooklyn, New York. His writing focuses on Jewish emigration from Eastern Europe and immigration to the United States, with a clear interest in the social and economic forces shaping that experience.

Reliable biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so this profile keeps close to what is documented. What stands out most is the lasting value of his best-known book: a careful, data-driven study that still serves readers interested in immigration history and Jewish American life.
