vito corleone didn’t have smallpox, he had a mental defect/disability (probably autism, it was not discovered at the time but it all matches up), and he was lied to because they thought he wouldn’t understand.

and i have image proof.

this shows what the chalk symbols drawn on people on ellis island means.

and see, if he had smallpox it would be ‘P’ for physical and lung, but he instead had this symbol. a circle with an x inside.

see? it’s the same symbol!

i went to ellis island/immigration museum a while back actually, when i went to nyc for vacation. there was a really interesting display about mental testing in ellis island.

Got what is probably my favourite cook book today. It's called The Ellis Island Immigrant Cookbook by Tom Bernardin. It's a collection of recipes from relatives (most commonly descendents) of immigrants or at time immigrants themselves who went through Ellis Island along with a blurb from the person submitting it and where they were originally from.

#OTD in 1892 – Ellis Island becomes reception center for new immigrants. The first immigrant through the gates is Annie Moore, 17, of Co Cork.

When Ellis Island officially opened on 1 January 1892, the first passenger processed through the now world-famous immigration station was an Irish girl named Annie Moore. The 17-year-old girl was travelling with her two younger brothers, Anthony and Phillip, on the S.S. Nevada. The ship had departed from Queenstown (now Cobh, Co Cork) on 20 December 1891, carrying 148 steerage passengers. The…

Mathilde Wichmann, former Immigrant Inspector, explains the work undertaken by female boarding inspectors at Ellis Island (p. 1, 4, 6, 8), May 26, 1903.

New York, N.Y. May 26, 1903

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,

President of the United States,

Washington, D.C.

Sir:

  Believing you desirous of securing full enlightenment on the work accomplished by the Women Immigrant Inspectors at the Port of New York, and furthermore, knowing that our detailed reports have not come to your personal attention, although our work has been criticized as a failure, I take from this opportunity of sending you a full report of our work from February 11th to May 14, 1903.

  In the absence of more detailed instruction, we have worked along the line of the need expressed by you when you consented to our appointment.  We think that the actual results in the exclusion of unqualified aliens in the prevention of disaster to individuals who are choosing our country for their own,  are sufficient to justify the continuance of our work, especially as it is evident that many of these results could be accomplished only by women.  

  In grouping these cases, I have tried to arrange them to show (1) those where it is obviously improper that a man, unless he be a physician, should have anything to say in the matter, (2) those
