Purchase options and add-ons
In this richly evocative collection ten men and women of European, Latin
American, and Asian backgrounds tell of their immigrant experiences. They range from a Shetland Islander who sailed to Virginia as an indentured servant before the American Revolution to a Vietnamese refugee family living in Chicago in the 1980s.
Thomas Dublin presents diaries, letters, reminiscences, and oral history in a volume that memorably reflects the diversity and commonalties of two centuries of U.S. immigration. His introduction places the primary sources in a broad interpretive framework and offers readers an overview of the place of immigration in national development.

If you're trying to find great individual stories of immigrants to America from many parts of the world and at many points in American history, this is a good place to start. A number of the stories are excerpts from longer amazing autobiographies of people like Rosa Cassetari (Italian, late 19th century) and Ernesto Galarza (Mexican, early 1900s). If you're trying to round up some of the best, this book will help you do it. Check out the table of contents.
