About Tom
Expertise
While it is a huge topic, I am well-versed in World War II generally. There is a huge wealth of information available on the internet, HOWEVER, one has to know the trash from the gems. Many sites which are not obviously credible (govt, university, and museum sites, for ex.), provide erroneous information (intentionally or otherwise).

Experience
BA in history, and been reading and studying WW2 as my 'hobby' for 30 years. Regular contributor to several online forums in military history, WW2, and related areas and topics.

Organizations
None relevant to this topic.

Education/Credentials
BA, History (Secondary Education), with minor in Geography
US Army Engineer Officer (Officer Basic and Advanced Courses)

20th Century History - Sojourn


Expert: Tom - 9/6/2008

Question
What's the definition of the word sojourn/sojourner and what's its significance at the turn of the 20th century.

P.S.it's an emergency for Monday

Answer
I'm afraid I have no real help for you, as I don't know it's significance to c.1900.

Sojourn is a temporary stay, usually it is meant as a temporary stay in the country, on vacation, away from normal life.

But the connection you seek is lost on me.  I googled a few things, but didn't find anything on those hunches.

Tom
