3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. fascinating; and extremely well researchedBy helenI bought this book as a gift for my father; as part of our family geneology research. It offered much more than we expected; and isa "can't put it down" view of immigration and culture. The Library of Congress photos alone are worth the price.Really interesting!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
