Angel Island: Gateway to Gold Mountain

(2) 4-6 Translated by Evans Chan. Freedman's slender volume on the history and importance of California's Angel Island Immigration Station--the portal for Asian immigration to the U.S.--covers a lot of ground. He weaves a clear and straightforward narrative history with abundant quotations, excerpts from diaries and wall poems, and archival photographs. This is a clearly written account of a lesser-known side of American immigration history. Bib., ind.
