Why readers are here

In narrative form, this book attempts to trace the evolution of New York City and reveal its organic relationship to the rest of the United States and all the world. Spans the 400 years of its development from the wooded, hilly island that Giovanni da Verrazano called "a pleasant place" in 1524, to the vast, vital metropolis of today.
