Softcover. Charleston SC, Arcadia Publishing, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 128 pages. In America "the streets were paved with gold." That was the mistaken notion of many an immigrant to the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s. On Long Island, deluded sojourners from Italy were to find that in fact there were few streets and that they themselves were to be the ones to build them. A pictorial history covering more than a century of history, Long Island Italians depicts the transition of urban Italians as they moved increasingly from the city to the suburbs in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Many photos, clean copy.
