Italian Padrone’s Tale From Castile Garden Mystery
A swarthy Italian Padron who roams about twenty four years, recounts life of shipwrecked privation and abduction in Italy. He speaks with Captain Heinenan at Castily Garden about his identity, years in Italy, escape to New York, and a possible relation to a man named D. Grane. He recalls harsh abuses by padrone and journey through Italy, country life, and long separation from his brother. The narrative hints at origins in Italy and a search for kin, with fear of crowded cities and a wish to locate arriving Italians in America.
