    [synopsis] => Unique among historical guides to New York City, this book covers separate waves of immigration from colonial times to the mid-nineteenth-century Irish Potato Famine, from Ellis Island-which, between 1892 and 1954, processed some twelve million newcomers-to the present day, and it ties this history to various sites in the city.
