The Poles, We Came to North America
by Greg Nickles

Each immigrant group of people that has arrived in North America has contributed something special. Their stories are about the triumph of the human spirit. Bringing with them a proud heritage and a unique culture, people learned to adapt their traditional ways to suit their new country. First-hand accounts, maps, photographs and illustrations bring vividly to life the story of the peoples who have made the United States and Canada the countries they are today.

Difficult political and economic conditions in Poland began a wave of immigrants to North America in the 1880s. Eyewitness accounts help describe their journeys highlighting the persecution of Polish Jews in WWII, Panna Maria--one of North America's oldest Polish settlements, and Polonia-communities preserving Polish traditions.
