History
1
After a long ocean voyage, an immigrant’s first steps on U.S. soil were on a wharf leading to this Immigration Station. They were soon immersed in unfamiliar surroundings, a foreign language, new customs, and an uncertain fate. John F. Louie recalled of Angel Island in 1936, “It was a tough trip. I was only twelve and I was living with the rest of the people, hundreds of them down in the freight hole. The beds were stacked up two high.”
