Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The story of America is one of immigration. By bringing us the inspiring and sometimes unsettling tales of Ellis Island, Vincent Cannato’s American Passage helps us understand who we are as a nation.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author
“Reading Vincent Cannato’s American Passage was an amazing journey into our nation’s immigrant past. Never before has Ellis Island been written about with such scholarly care and historical wisdom. Highly recommended!” —Douglas Brinkley, New York Times bestselling author of The Great Deluge
“To his great credit Cannato does not pretend to answer our tough questions about immigration, nor to find a ‘usable past’ in the history of Ellis Island. He just tells one heck of a story that oozes with relevance.” —Walter A. McDougall, Pulitzer Prize–winning author
“Historian Vincent Cannato appears to have overlooked nothing in telling the tale of the historic island, now a national monument… Cannato is not only a meticulous researcher and historian, he’s also a lively storyteller. A rare combination.” —USA Today
“Mr. Cannato’s writing is vivid and accessible, and his approach is admirably even-handed.” —Wall Street Journal
“Cannato does a masterful job of weaving together a slew of singular immigrant stories with the larger issues that surrounded newcomers. He gives us the politics, the health scares and epidemics, the crowding, the corruption and the public policy.” —New York Post
