Move through time as never before with this one-of-a-kind guide, which brings you face to face with the people and events that have shaped the immigrant experience in New York City. Unique among historical guides to the Big Apple, it covers separate waves of immigration—from colonial times to the mid-nineteenth-century Irish Potato Famine, from Ellis Island to the present day—and it ties this history to various sites in the city.
· Two PopOuts—an historic map up front and a contemporary map in the back
· An introduction that sets the New York immigrant experience in historical context
· A timeline that adds context to the history described
· An historical walking tour
· Where to stay and eat, and places to visit nearby
· Archival and color photos throughout
Randi Minetor is the author of three other Timeline Books, including Gettysburg, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C., and of fifteen books for FalconGuidesŪ (an imprint of Globe Pequot Press).
