Description
Patricia Brennan Demuth's accessible, carefully researched biography of the gateway through which millions of immigrants entered America—tracing its history from its establishment as an immigration station through its transformation into a museum of the American immigrant experience—provides young readers with the most complete and the most humanly engaging account of this essential American institution. Essential reading for every young student of American history and every child whose family history passes through those famous gates. An important and illuminating work.
