Hungarians in MichiganBy Golden GirlAfter looking for online material about the assimilation of immigrant Hungarians into the American society I cam across this book. My relatives immigrated in the early 1900's and very little was said about their experiences; which I have heard is very common. I was looking for information about how they probably adjusted and the social networking in Detroit; Michigan during this era. This book answered many questions that I had. Therefore if you are interested in history or how a group of immigrants adjusts to life in our wonderful country you will enjoy reading this short but information filled book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
