Cabell’s transformation into a benefactor of immigrants
A bored young New Yorker from a privileged background meets a Norwegian typhoid survivor, Lars Volk, at Penn Hospital. Cabell loans money to restart Volk’s life and discovers a calling helping Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, German, and Russian emigrants find work and homes. His empathy grows as he funds colonies in Dakota and Virginia and visits Volk’s family.
