Customer Reviews

Wonderful history with humor

This book, written in the late 1890s, shows the NYC that disappeared slowing over the preceding 100 years. What a read. Inside New York's birth and growth, so to speak. An opinionated perspective that shows that in some ways things never change.

For all New Yorkers

This book provides great insight into New York City's past. For all those with a passion for this city, this book is a must. Great historic facts and photos!
