Publisher's Synopsis
In The Shadow Of Liberty: The Chronicle Of Ellis Island is a non-fiction book by Edward Corsi that tells the story of Ellis Island, the gateway to America for millions of immigrants. The book chronicles the history of Ellis Island, from its opening in 1892 to its closure in 1954, and the experiences of the immigrants who passed through its gates. Corsi explores the challenges and obstacles faced by these immigrants, including poverty, discrimination, and the struggle to adapt to a new culture. He also examines the role of Ellis Island in shaping American society and culture, and the impact of immigration on the country's economy and politics. Through personal accounts, historical documents, and photographs, Corsi brings to life the stories of the millions of people who passed through Ellis Island, and the impact they had on the United States. The book is a tribute to the courage and resilience of these immigrants, and a reminder of the importance of immigration in shaping the American experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
