i have been to eLLIS iSLAND and was overcome by the courage of those who got there and of the rigour they had to go through to get to manahttan, cholera, dysentry etc.6 second exam.
What is not so well documented is what happened to these people once they arrived, the bigotry, resentfullness of those who were already there and saw them as a threat etc etc etc.
What I want to know is what happenned between ellis island and getting to Manhatten or other areas of New York.
doea anyone know of songs that record this period......
