Encyclopedia of Ellis Island
by Barry Moreno
"Ellis Island, at the southern tip of Manhattan, was the major portal for European immigrants to the United States and looms large in 19th century and early 20th century history. After extensive restoration, today it is a national symbol and important museum. Authored by a noted historian and librarian at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, this is the first encyclopedia devoted to the Island, documenting its various incarnations. It contains more than 430 essay entries on the crucial people, operations, rooms and buildings, events, immigration laws and acts, organizations, and other terms associated with the island's history." "This ready reference is perfect for synthesizing information for student reports on immigration and heritage. Genealogists and browsers will find this useful reading as well. A chronology, primary document appendices, and plentiful photos provide added value."--Jacket.
