Ellis Island: Coming to the Land of Liberty

57 pp. | Houghton | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-99943-9 $18.00
(3) 4-6 This is a well-researched and clearly written look at the iconic New York City immigration station. After explaining how it became a symbol for European immigration to America, the author provides a chronological overview of the island from the 1700s to the present. Moving stories, intriguing details, fascinating primary source images, and copious photographs make for a handsome volume. Reading list.
