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.
