Dansk-amerikaneren Jacob A. Riis ankom med dampskibet til Castle Garden i 1870. Med 40 dollars i lommen, foræret af hans naboer i Ribe, kun lige stået af båden, der havde fragtet ham fra det gamle kontinent kiggede den 21-årige Jacob A.

I dette afsnit driver vi med strømmen af litteratur, journalistik og rapporter, der afdækkede slumområderne. Den litteratur, som Jacob A. Riis selv bidrog til. Vi bevæger os dybere ind i lejekasernen, ind i gaderne og gyderne. Vi vil nærmere os det spørgsmål, der naturligt meldte sig med slummens tilsynekomst: Hvem boede i slummen? Ligesom Jacob A.

Riis var ikke den eneste, der svarede på slumspørgsmålet.

De billige lodging-huse tilbød en nats søvn i bytte for et lille beløb. Et beløb, der som regel kunne skrabes sammen af selv byens allerfattigste. Modsætningen til lodging-husene var gode og trygge hjem.
