This review is from: Polish Immigrants: 1890-1920 (Coming to America (Capstone)) (Library Binding)

This is really a useful book - a history lesson about Polish immigration to America addressed to children and teenagers over 9 years old.
Interestingly written with short history of Poland and the history of immigration to America and the explanation why Poles left their countryside.
It contains nice photographs to help to understand the text and also some extra info - about Polish names and how they were modified in America, about Polish food (some recipes) and Polish tradition.
