Through the immigrants' own words and contemporary photographs and illustrations, these inspiring volumes not only tell the story of each immigrant group, but also provide insight on what it means to be an American today. They fled starvation and poverty in Ireland for America's prosperity, only to be stereotyped as commoners.
