97 Orchard Street, New York by Linda Granfield

97 Orchard Street, New York by Linda Granfield is the story of a New York City tenement during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Linda Granfield traces the stories of four different families who lived at 97 Orchard Street during that time. Throughout each story she uses different facts and events to describe what life was like for early immigrants to the United States.

This book was really interesting. I don't know very much about what life was like for immigrants in New York in the 1800s and 1900s. Linda Granfield did an excellent job of telling real peoples' stories while filling in gaps with factual information.
