Amazing pictures demonstrate the variety and diversity of different cultures of those people who arrived in the United States in the early twentieth century with the hope to start a new life. Originally black-and-white pictures were taken August the Sherwood Amateur photographer and the employee who checked-arrived immigrants at Ellis island.
