Overview
Turn back the clock with History Comics! In this volume, take a visit to Ellis Island and learn America's immigration story. Many Americans know someone who can trace their ancestry through Ellis Island. In addition to being part of the world-famous Statue of Liberty National Monument, this modest-sized piece of land once housed the main immigration processing center for the U.S., documenting upwards of 12 million people between 1892 and 1954! Over the generations, Ellis Island has taken on an almost mythic status as a beacon of hope to those seeking freedom and refuge from persecution. But how did it all get started? Our past is only the beginning with History Comics, a riveting nonfiction graphic novel series from First Second!

Reviews
History Comics: Ellis Island ""While the author compresses a huge story into relatively few pages, it's an effectively told, moving history... Coherent, provocative, and more cogent than ever."" --Kirkus Reviews History Comics: The Stonewall Riots ""Accessible and intersectional, this compact foray into queer history is an essential purchase for all graphic nonfiction collections.""--School Library Journal, starred review History Comics: The Transcontinental Railroad ""Exhilarated readers will come away with clear enough pictures of the project's costs and benefits to decide whether the one was worth the other. Suspenseful, grand of scope, and related with cinematic brio."" --Kirkus Reviews
