===Ethnic saloons===
In ethnic neighborhoods of cities, mill towns and mining camps, the saloonkeeper was an important man. Groups of 25-50 recent arrivals speaking the same language--and probably also from the same province or village back in Europe--drank together and frequented the same saloon. They trusted the saloonkeeper to translate and write letters for them, help with transatlantic letters and remittances, keep their savings for them, and explain American laws and customs.<ref> Kingsdale (1975); Duis (1975); Rothbart (1993) </ref>
