Description
This charming account of Manhattan's history extends from the arrival of Dutch colonists in the early 1600s through the late 19th century. Intriguing details, dozens of illustrations and maps, and the author's wry humor combine for a vivid portrait of a long-vanished New York that featured not only cobblestones and crowds but also farms and barns.
Author Bio
