Its Where We All Come From

By tracing the history of immigration to America, this book reminds us all of who we are and where we come from. Almost everyone in this country comes from somewhere else. We are all immigrants. This comprehensive look at immigration delves deep into our collective soul as it describes in glorious detail the passion and vitality of immigrant life in America; where we came from and who we are.This book is masterful in its detail and gloriously illustrated. Every American should read this book before voting. Every American should read this book before paying taxes. Every American should read this book before graduating high school. America is less than 300 years old, but our history is deep. By association, our history streaches back thousands of year, to the glories of Rome and the majesty of Jerusalem. I appreciated this moving account of the birth of our nation through its emerging diversity and vitality. As each wave of immigration brough new color to this land, the nation grew wiser and stronger.I highly recommend this meaningful book. I especially appreciated the section that dealt with my heritage, the section on immigration from Eastern Europe. Each reader will appreciate the section that relates to their personal history. From start to finish a well writen, well crafted book.

Thank you. Thank you.
