The history of New York City is, in many ways, the history of America. So much of the American culture, economy, art, ancestry, and every other aspect of America has been shaped by New York City that it is impossible to separate the two. New York City is the American City. It is the one single place that represents America to itself and the world. Other cities can claim great achievements and influences, but no other city in America, and maybe even the world, can claim the same achievements for humanity as New York City. Written in a quick-read style for the busy modern reader, and with over 110 restored and enhanced maps, prints and photos (most in brilliant period color), Historic New York City will inform and delight the reader with the history of New York City, much of which will be new, exciting and emotionally moving to modern readers.
