New York, New York, April 28th, 2003
Facts About American Immigration, an acclaimed volume in the Wilson "Facts About" reference series, has been chosen by The New York Public Library as one of the 25 "Best of Reference" titles for its usefulness in local branch collections. A special "Best of Reference" presentation was held April 25th at New York’s Donnell Library Center.

This is just the latest in a series of accolades Facts About American Immigration has received since its 2002 release. Previously, the volume was praised by Choice magazine: "Reminds everyone what it means to be an American. Recommended for all libraries," and by Reference Books Bulletin: "Facts about American Immigration will be useful in high-school and undergraduate libraries."

Facts About American Immigration explores the extraordinary saga of worldwide emigration to the U.S., a major feature of world history for more than five centuries and into the present. The volume focuses on who came to the U.S. and from where, their reasons for coming, the nature of their journey, and where they settled, starting with the earliest Americans. A practical resource for historians and sociologists, this book is a boon to genealogical researchers. For more on the volume, visit www.hwwilson.com/print/FactsImm.cfm.
