Synopsis
As the main entry facility for immigrants coming to the United States for more than half a century, Ellis Island was the last stop before a move to freedom in America. About 12 million people from Europe and elsewhere entered teh United States through this portal. The fascinating Ellis Island uses immigrants' own words, photographs, and full-color illustrations to explore the significance to those who wished to pursue the American Dream.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4–6—Each book features a national landmark and provides nearly as much information as a guided tour by a park ranger. All begin with the story of how the place came to be, and where it fits into U.S. history. Information boxes offer additional background and some surprising facts, such as the stages an immigrant would pass through at Ellis Island and the origin of the name of Mount Rushmore. The final chapter shows the landmark today and includes maps and photographs of the visitors' center and some of the things individuals might see or do while visiting the site. Much information is packed into these slim books. Excellent supplements for state reports or to complement U.S. history units.—Sharon R. Pearce, Longfellow Elementary School, Oak Park, IL
