RABCK from hostile17; This souvenir type book is best summed up by portions of the last paragraph. Angel Island is full of contradictions. It was discovered by a Spanish sea captain who apparently never set foot on the island. ….it was an immigration station whose main function was to keep immigrants from entering the country.....it was the first U. S. port of call for Trans-Pacific passenger ships, but did not appear on ship's itineraries. Overall an interesting book that will travel forward in the things bookbox.

Angel Island, in the Town of Tiburon, is a mile-square jewel set in San Francisco Bay that attracts thousands of visitors each year. Few of those who hike, bike, camp, or enjoy the spectacular vistas in this California State Park realize its diverse history. From the Spanish ships that anchored at Ayala Cove in 1775 to the 1960s cold war-era missile silos, Angel Island has endured to become one of the most popular parks in the state. Although many building were demolished, there are still countless reminders of the island's multifaceted evolution, including a quarantine station, army base, and immigration station.
