(2) 4-6 In 1910, sixteen-year-old D'Angelo and his father left their Italian village to travel to New York City but found life less than rosy for new immigrants. By skillfully interspersing historical details with D'Angelo's own account of his life from his autobiography, and by illustrating the text with documentary photos, Murphy provides a compelling tribute to the indomitable masses who helped to modernize America. Bib., ind.
