Great history of Italian immigration to US
The text answered lots of questions I had about the arduous journey that my ancestors made to US....the dangers, hardships, and sacrifices. Extremely well searched. History of how the unification of Italy in the1860s led to the volume of Italian immigrants to US was extremely well-done and informative.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
