About This Book
Immigrant Gifts to American Life, published in 1932, describes the purpose and content of the Buffalo Exhibition and other similar expositions. The Buffalo Exhibition was a public show of the arts and skills foreigners have brought and contributed to in the United States, under the direction of Allen H. Eaton, author of this book and at that time field secretary of the American Federation of Arts. They utilized a common interest in the aesthetic values men live by to promote a better understanding of social and civic values.
