Many Americans know someone who can trace their ancestry through Ellis Island.

But how did it all get started? Discover the storied past of this once-great gateway to the United States and the countless people who it continues to inspire.
Our past is only the beginning with History Comics, a riveting nonfiction series from First Second!
