Book About a Little Known Chapter in California History,
By Frederick S. Goethel "wildcatcreekbooks" (Central Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Angel Island (We the People: Industrial America series) (We the People (Compass Point Books Paperback)) (Paperback)
Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay, is not particularly well known and is not one of the major tourist destinations of the Bay area, and it is a shame as the island is both beautiful and loaded with history.
Although the title would lead one to believe the book is the history of the island, it is more a history of one very particular part of the history of the island. Angel Island was the western version of Ellis Island, only it was used mostly by people immigrating into the US from Asia. The book details the Chinese immigration and the attempts of the US to keep the Chinese from entering the country. It is a fascinating study compared to what we are undergoing with Mexican immigration today. Although this is a children's book, it is well written and provides an interesting look at the immigration issues in California, as well as providing an interesting look at a relatively unknown and poorly understood period in our history.
