Written in a passionate and readable style, Gateway To America chronicles the historic New York/New Jersey triangle that was the window for America's immigration wave in the 19th and 20th centuries that also inspired some of our countries most popular tourism sites. Thus, unlike other guide books that cover Gateway landmarks, this book is the first comprehensive one to cover all the sites from a historical point of view, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Liberty State Park, Battery Park, World Trade Center, South Street Seaport and Governor's Island that make up the entire Gateway experience.
