Gateway to America: The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and 7 Other Historic Places: World Trade Center Memorial Edition

Rating:
Summary: An enjoyable and highly recommended history and guide
Review: Based on the PBS documentary, Gordon Bishop's Gateway To America is both a guidebook and a history of the New York/New Jersey triangle that was the chief entry point for America's immigration wave in the 19th and 20th centuries. Fun facts and insights into the past fill the pages of this informatively written account, one which examines The Statue of Liberty, Battery City Park, South Street Seaport, remembers the World Trade Center and commiserates with the victims of the September 11th attacks. Color photographs by Jerzy Koss enhance this enjoyable and highly recommended history and guide.
