About the Book
The story of New York City's fifth and sometimes forgotten
borough,
from the days of the Leni Lenape Native Americans to the
building
of the Verrazano Bridge. This is a work of high scholarship
and
at the time a great read for anyone with an interest in the
whole
story of all of New York City. Staten Island's official
Borough Historian,
Richard Dickenson, has edited and compiled a volume that
brings vividly
to life the history of the borough in all its humanity and
rich variety.
The book includes the full text of Edna Holden's classic
history of Staten Island, originally published in 1964, and a
reprint of Evelyn Morris King's "Black Man on Staten Island."
It also includes rare photos of historic buildings and
historic maps.
This volume will be vital for all Staten Islanders who want to
know more about how their community came to be what it is
today. It is equally essential for urban historians and for
all students of the old and new cultural and ethnic groups
that have become part of the population
of America's greatest city. |
