Between 1892 and the early 1950s nearly fifteen million people streamed through Ellis Island in search of a new life. It closed as a federal immigration station in 1954, and was opened in 1990 as a museum - thus preserving the heritage of the more than 100 million Americans who can trace their immigrant roots there. Largely in the words of the men, women, and children, most of them came from southern and eastern Europe, and from widely diverse backgrounds. (Book ref. 6894)  £14.00
