Biography
Sol Erlich was named among the Red Special immigration detainees taken to Ellis Island in 1919.
The June 1920 One Big Union Monthly’s account of the Red Special identifies Sol Erlich among the detainees transported from Seattle and brought to Ellis Island on February 11, 1919. Its release list reports his release on April 21. This is reported as an accomplished release, not a future prediction. Exact prior Seattle custody and a complete individual custody total remain unresolved; no duration is calculated by treating the transport dates as his entire confinement.
