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 Biography

American novelist and historian Thomas Janvier (1849-1913) moved from Philadelphia to New York in 1881. A resident of Washington Square, he wrote a series of articles about the city's artistic life and culture, many of them published in Harper's Magazine.
