Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ellis Island Development Concept Plan, Draft Environmental Impact Statement: Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island Ellis Island occupies a singularly unique place in America's heritage. It was the primary United States immigration station from 1892 to 1954 when more than 12 million people passed through the island the greatest wave of migration in this country's history. Today, 40% of Americans can trace their family history via Ellis Island. In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson added Ellis Island to the national park system as a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument. This was done in recognition of its significance in American history, architecture, and culture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
