For most of New York's early history, Ellis Island had been an obscure little island that barely held itself above high tide. Today the small island stands alongside Plymouth Rock in our nation's founding mythology as the place where many of our ancestors first touched American soil. Ellis Island's heydayfrom 1892 to 1924coincided with one of the greatest mass movements of individuals the world has ever seen, with some twelve million immigrants inspected at its gates. In American Passage, Vincent J. Cannato masterfully illuminates the story of Ellis Island from the days when it hosted pirate hangings witnessed by thousands of New Yorkers in the nineteenth century to the turn of the twentieth century when massive migrations sparked fierce debate and hopeful new immigrants often encountered corruption, harsh conditions, and political scheming.

American Passage captures a time and a place unparalleled in American immigration and history, and articulates the dramatic and bittersweet accounts of the immigrants, officials, interpreters, and social reformers who all play an important role in Ellis Island's chronicle. Cannato traces the politics, prejudices, and ideologies that surrounded the great immigration debate, to the shift from immigration to detention of aliens during World War II and the Cold War, all the way to the rebirth of the island as a national monument. Long after Ellis Island ceased to be the nation's preeminent immigrant inspection station, the debates that once swirled around it are still relevant to Americans a century later.

In this sweeping, often heart-wrenching epic, Cannato reveals that the history of Ellis Island is ultimately the story of what it means to be an American.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Using a variety of primary sources, Cannato (The Ungovernable City) describes Ellis Island as a place and as an experience for the approximately 12 million immigrants who passed through it from 1892 to 1924. He follows its reincarnation as a detention center for wartime aliens and as a monument and museum, which he admits may celebrate uncritically "ethnic triumphalism" and upward mobility. Cannato writes that understaffing resulted in only perfunctory screening for mental, physical, and moral traits that might have made newcomers public charges, and he disabuses readers of the fallacy that examiners, rather than steamship officials or immigrants bent on assimilation, changed entrants' last names. With a focus on how "actual people created, interpreted, and executed immigration laws," Cannato maintains that regulation, which sometimes degraded into restriction, formed part of Progressive era reform and growing federal involvement to safeguard what was deemed the public interest. This measured book helps to place in perspective discussions—sure to matter to genealogists and those engaged in political discourse—of Ellis Island and the idea of immigration as a privilege rather than a right. Essential reading.—Frederick J. Augustyn Jr., Library of Congress

Review

"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." (The New York Post )

"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, author of Einstein )

"Cannato resists the temptation to setimentalize Ellis Island. He understands that, now as then, immigration is an issue that leaves Americans uncomfortable and contentious, even as it continues to bring new blood and energy into the country." (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post )

"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 )

"Although Ellis Island is about immigrants from far-away places, it is in fact as American as Thanksgiving and apple pie. This amazing story is recounted beautifully in Vincent Cannato's well-written and evocative book, which will bring pleasure and profit to readers." (Kenneth T. Jackson, editor in chief, Encyclopedia of New York City )

"Immigration has long been a critical slice of the American narrative, and here, in American Passage, Vincent Cannato tells its story with great brio. From landing point to national Monument, from immigrants to interpreters, we see the veritable Babel of Ellis Island play out across the years." (Jay Winik, author of The Great Upheaval and April 1865 )

"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, author of The Great Deluge )

"Mr. Cannato's writing is vivid and accessible, and his approach is admirably even-handed." (The Wall Street Journal )

"Cannato navigates the crosscurrents of immigration since the 1700s, illustrating his tale generously with odd facts and highly readable stories." (Associated Press )

"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, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of Throes of Democracy )

From The Washington Post

From The Washington Post's Book World/washingtonpost.com Reviewed by Jonathan Yardley Ellis Island, through which 12 million immigrants passed between 1892 and 1924, is a museum and tourist attraction now, "a success," according to Vincent J. Cannato, "attracting some 2 million visitors a year." A small patch of land in New York Harbor, known two centuries ago as Gibbet Island because so many pirates were hanged there, it occupies a large but somewhat ambiguous place in American history. On the one hand, it is deservedly celebrated as the country's gateway, not the only one but the largest and most important. On the other hand, it is the place where a deep conflict in American beliefs has been played out: "The nation's immigration law was predicated on the idea that a self-governing people could decide who may or may not enter the country. But that idea came into conflict with other ideals such as America's traditional history of welcoming newcomers. More importantly, it conflicted with the idea that the rights guaranteed in the Constitution were universal rights. How could the Declaration of Independence's basic creed that all individuals were created equal mesh with the idea that some immigrants were desirable and others undesirable? That conflict between American ideals is central to an understanding of why Ellis Island was created in the first place." Obviously, the story of Ellis Island remains pertinent today, for the issues it raises still vex and divide us. In the early years of the 20th century, most immigrants came to the United States from Europe, and the question in the minds of many Americans was whether some of them (British, French, German) were more "desirable" than others (Eastern and Southern Europeans). Now the great wave of immigration is from Latin America, and because many of these people enter the country illegally, the question is whether this makes them "undesirable," even though many of them work productively and contribute to the national economy. Ellis Island was established as a "sieve" through which immigrants could be filtered, the desirable allowed to enter, the undesirable deported back to their countries of origin. But as became plain from almost the moment it opened, defining "desirable" and "undesirable" was difficult and often caused intense controversy. William Williams, director of Ellis Island for many years, was a WASP aristo who "linked undesirability to southern and eastern Europeans," just as many Bostonians regarded the Irish as undesirable. One blue-blooded New England Yankee, discussing the " 'masses of peasantry' from Italy, Hungary, Austria, and Russia in the 1890s," didn't beat around the bush: "These people have no history behind them which is of a nature to give encouragement. They have none of the inherited instincts and tendencies which made it comparatively easy to deal with the immigration of olden time. They are beaten men from beaten races; representing the worst failures in the struggle for existence. Centuries are against them, as centuries were on the side of those who formerly came to us." Out of such sentiments grew the Immigration Restriction League, founded in 1894 "to advocate and work for the further judicious restriction or stricter regulation of immigration," i.e., No Italians Need Apply. These and other efforts by Boston Brahmins and their allies stirred up noise and debate but don't seem to have had all that much effect on the decisions made by officials at Ellis Island, who were chiefly preoccupied with questions of physical and mental health, the ability to earn a gainful wage and "moral turpitude," a euphemism for everything from prostitution to adultery to premarital sex. During World War I "alien enemies" -- "any male over the age of fourteen born in Germany, residing in the United States, and not a naturalized U.S. citizen" -- found their rights sharply limited and were at risk of being arrested; after the war, fear of radicals generally, and anarchists specifically, added a new category of "undesirables." A "recurring theme throughout Ellis Island's history," Cannato writes, is "the chasm between immigration law as written and immigration law as enforced." Or, as he puts it elsewhere, "The immigration problem was a conflict between abstract laws and the individual tragedies those laws sometimes created." It was one thing to deny admission to the "feeble-minded," but quite another when an entire family presented itself for admission and one child was deemed to fit that category. How were officials to respond: Deny admission to the entire family, or admit all save the offending girl? In one such case the second course was chosen, leaving the girl to live out the rest of her life -- how she did so we do not know -- on her own. Generally, though, Ellis Island tended toward the permissive. Some of those who worked there were bigoted, and many, it seems, were simply incompetent, but Cannato reports numerous instances in which people who were borderline "undesirable" for one reason or another were granted admission on essentially humanitarian grounds. President William Howard Taft, making a visit to the island, found himself caught up in one such case, though his sympathetic response to the immigrant under examination ultimately was overruled by authorities directly responsible. The immigration center was closed in 1954, by which time a quota system was in effect and overall immigration had declined sharply. Two years later the General Services Administration put the entire 27-acre island up for sale, but reaction against turning over the historic site to private interests -- "the high bidder was a New York builder . . . who wanted to turn Ellis Island into Pleasure Island, a high-end resort with a convention center, marina, and recreational and cultural facilities" -- was strong enough to persuade the Eisenhower Administration to take it off the market. It deteriorated until 1981, when a fund-raising program for its restoration was undertaken, eventually under the leadership of Lee Iacocca, whose parents went through Ellis Island in 1921. Cannato, who teaches history at the University of Massachusetts in Boston, has written a popular rather than scholarly history of Ellis Island, but he resists the temptation to sentimentalize the place. He understands that, now as then, immigration is an issue that leaves Americans uncomfortable and contentious, even as it continues to bring new blood and energy into the country. Ellis Island may have been converted into something of a feel-good theme park, but the questions it raises remain unresolved.

All my life I had believed, as our whole family believed, that being from Philadelphia, we must have arrived through that city. As a result although I've always been mildly interested in Ellis as a historical landmark, I never thought that we had a connection to it. That all changed in December 2012 when I found my mother's parents' Ellis Island manifests, along with those of other members of our family. We did indeed come into this country through Ellis, and I'll never forget the way the skin on my neck crawled as I recognized my grandfather -- "tailor, scar on forehead" -- or saw the handwritten names of my great-grandparents and grandmother, entering together as a family with others from their town. I've since printed the manifests and mailed them to my mother, and I continue to search for others of my family who also came through Ellis, Castle Garden, and the barge office during the "gap year" of 1891.

The treatment of their experiences and the motivations behind the creation of a central location for immigrant processing is incredibly detailed, sympathetic, sensible, and beautifully put in this book. I can't imagine a better history of this iconic landmark and what it symbolizes for today's America. Cannato delves into the history of the place and its precursor station Castle Garden, perfectly prepared to acknowledge all sides of the thorny topic of immigration up to the present day. I've already recommended to my mom that she buy the kindle version.

I also want to recommend to anyone who suspects that their ancestors came through Ellis to visit EllisIsland.org where they will find a searchable database of immigration records, including scanned copies of the actual ship manifests of the day. Finding the name of an ancestor in a computer database is one thing, but seeing the actual documents will give you a feeling like no other.

Well Researched and Engaging History of an American Landmark

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2009

For the millions of Americans whose ancestors entered America with a first step on this historic island, this is a telling of their family's history. I recently obtained copies of the passenger lists and photos of the ships my family sailed on during their voyage to this country seeking a new beginning. I knew they had come through Ellis Island, but I knew little of it's history nor what these immigrants had actually endured before being accepting as "new Americans". I had to laugh when I read in one chapter that "some of the most undesirable sources of the population (new immigrants) were from Italy, Austria and Russia. My grandfather, who came from Austria in 1903, was a remarkable, hard working man who became a sucessful citizen. To think there were some who considered him "undesirable" makes my shake my head in disbelief. Mr. Cannato has written an extremely readable and enjoyable book on the history of Ellis Island. It is a both a story of political corruption on the part of some who preyed on these arrivals, as well a story of hope and new beginnings. Bravo Mr. Cannato, well done!!

Scholarly Work Marred By Liberal Polemics

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2009

Verified Purchase

First of all let me say that none of my ancestors arrived in the US/American Colonies later than 1775, so the opening of Ellis Island in 1892 and the changes wrought to American demographics and political thought are merely an interesting facet in the history of the US for me. For the author the years from 1892 to 1924 during which Ellis Island admitted 12 million immigrants to the US (365,000 per year) of mostly Eastern European and Mediterranean people seems to be no less than one of the greatest events in US history. Gee, and the Revolutionary War, the influx of Irish Catholics which destroyed Latitudinarianism in the 1840s and the Civil War apparently were lesser events.

On one respect he is correct, however, the immigrants that came through Ellis Island were generally opponents of capitalism, steeped in European "Progressivism" (which is a kind term for Marxism, Socialism and Anarchism), and by the time of World War II had liberalized the American political landscape beyond recognition. FDR could never have arisen except for these immigrants, nor would we have been subjected to pervasive far-left propaganda since World War II of which this work is but a very mild example.

The author kindly points out that many who came through Ellis Island rapidly took advantage of the inclusive American culture to enter politics and immediately attempt to change the US to "Europe-West." They arrived with little or no understanding of American Common Law and began to replace it with European Civil Law through the creation of authoritarian political structures at the city and federal levels, a process that is continuing to this day. Unlike earlier immigrants who came to the US to get away from European political systems and problems and live in harmony under a peculiarly home-grown concept of freedom, the Ellis Island immigrants generally imported European cutural problems and political throught with them rather than embracing what the US already had. On second thought, maybe the author is correct in stressing the importance of Ellis Island.

The author dismisses the warnings of anti-immigrant writers like William Williams and strives to prove that the US actually thrived in the twentieth century due to the Ellis Island immigrants' contributions. Nativists (usually ugly) are held in contempt through the use of pejorative adjectives, carefully couched in terms of a conflict between great liberal ideas such as "all men are created equal" and the right of a state (or people) to defend itself against foreign intrusion in its internal affairs and influences. The idea that no one has the right to come into the US except by permission of the people of the US is debunked through the many ancedotes and descriptions of the hardships imposed on immigrants through immigration control laws and their enforcement.

The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights seems to destroy national sovereignty and, of course, we now have the leftists talking about "responsible sovereignty" as if this is some type of privilege granted to us by some global power. I mention all this to point up the issues in immigration law and the practical impact from the generations of Ellis Island immigrants on American political thought. The author leaves no doubt as to which side he takes in this debate. Nations such as the Boer Republic have disappeared through accepting large numbers of immigrants that sought immediately (within their lifetimes) to change their adopted country to something other than what it was. Examples abound, and in this respect, it is possible for a nation to die of democracy (like the Confederacy did of States Rights.)

All this being said, the author did an excellent, scholarly job of depicting the history of Ellis Island and presenting many stories of people passing through as well as the administration, officials, involved politicians and issues. All this makes this book well worth reading. Although I seriously disagree with the author's underlying thesis, there is much to learn here. Just ignore the adjectives.

The author is also correct that the Ellis Island history is directly applicable to the present day -- only I believe it is better to learn from our mistakes rather than to gloss them over as some type of noble concept we need to perpetuate. If the Indians had enforced an immigration policy at the time European settlers began to arrive, they would still possess the Western Hemisphere. Even if they could have kept out all the incoming carriers of disease, they would have been better off.

Lastly, Ellis Island opened up about the same time that opportunities to move onto uninhabited land dissapeared and these new immigrants generally ended up being stuck in labor camps or large cities. Earlier an immigrant could simply move west and squat on land if he could successfully fight off the Indians. But by 1892 all that had changed. The Indian wars were over, and the road to limited resources had begun. Somehow the idea that natural resources were no longer unlimited got missed in the creation of immigration policies.

With Ellis Island the nation changed from a country of primarily British Isle and German Protestant heritage mixed with Black and Mexican influences in some regions to a truly universal melting pot (or ethnic Balkanized conglomeration.) We are still struggling to understand and accept that demographic impact while facing new ones that threaten to destabilize the country and boost the crime rate through multiplying stress on the population fighting over increasingly scarce resources.

For the private citizen forced to accept people by their own government with alien cultures, religions, languages, systems of law, races and creeds, what do they do? Where do they go? Flee to walled communities? Educate their children through home schooling? Why can't they elect to live among people like themselves? Why do they have to pay to maintain destructive diversity and be used as soldiers to die for universalist ideas of democracy?

The author's answer to all this is to have Americans find their own compromise taking into account their fears and concerns while respecting the rights and humanity of immigrants who arrive at our borders. He states that we cannot close our borders and must continue our long history of welcoming strangers who will impact this nation for better or worse. His book carefully supports that conclusion. If one reads with a filter for polemic, a different conclusion is possible. Sounds like good scholarship within a biased Hume a priori framework to me.

I highly recommend this book. It would have been rated as five stars except for the reader having to read with a critical filter.
