The Italians

By Kathleen Fahey

At the height of migration from Italy, children were recruited under the Padroni system and brought to North America to work as shoeshiners, musicians, and even acrobats. This interesting account of how Italians first came to North America and how their traditions are still celebrated today is highlighted with full-color artwork and eyewitness accounts.
