History of Ellis Island

I am reading an interesting book right now called "American Passage: The History of Ellis Island" by Vincent J. Cannato. Although there is some less interesting political stuff, I enjoy reading about Ellis Island and how immigrants were treated. It really makes me wonder what happened when my ancestors came through Ellis Island and before when Castle Rock was the entry point. And yes, there were translators!
