Russell Freedman has published four other photobiographies. His Immigrant Kids is a tribute to the history of his own family, which along with thousands of other families passed through Ellis Island into New York City in the 1880s and 1890s. Some of the photographs are over a hundred years old, but the faces in them, Freedman says, are timeless.
