ebooks King Arthur: Shadows in the Mist by August Hunt in History

Description

America's “golden door” welcomed a huge wave of European immigrants between the 1880s and the 1920s. Millions passed through the gateway of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on their way to becoming Americans; and The Handbook of the United States is an authentic reproduction of one of the immigrants' most trusted resources- a complete guide to the USA; including everything from the pay-rates of various trades to amusing statistics about what Americans ate; drank; and manufactured. Once the tool that helped thousands of Irish; Italian and Jewish immigrants use their drive and industriousness to succeed; today it provides new insights into the extraordinary circumstances of the immigrant experience and the new arrivals' remarkable contribution to making America a great global power.
