Today, It Is The Site Of Broadway And Wall Street, The Empire State Building And The Statue Of Liberty, And The Home Of Millions Of People, Who Have Come From Every Corner Of The Nation And The Globe.In Gotham, Edwin G. Burrows And Mike Wallace Have Produced A Monumental Work Of History, One That Ranges From The Indian Tribes That Settled In And Around The Island Of Mannahata, To The Consolidation Of The Five Boroughs Into Greater New York In 1898. It Is An Epic Narrative, A Story As Vast And As Varied As The City It Chronicles, And It Underscores That The History Of New York Is The Story Of Our Nation.

Here Too Is A Cast Of Thousandsthe Rebel Jacob Leisler And The Reformer Joanna Bethune; Clement Moore, Who Saved Greenwich Village From The City'S Streetgrid Plan; Herman Melville, Who Painted Disillusioned Portraits Of City Life; And Walt Whitman, Who Happily Celebrated That Same Life. We Meet The Rebel Jacob Leisler And The Reformer Joanna Bethune; Boss Tweed And His Nemesis, Cartoonist Thomas Nast; Emma Goldman And Nellie Bly; Jacob Riis And Horace Greeley; Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt; Colonel Waring And His 'White Angels' (Who Revolutionized The Sanitation Department); Millionaires John Jacob Astor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, August Belmont, And William Randolph Hearst; And Hundreds More Who Left Their Mark On This Great City.The Events And People Who Crowd These Pages Guarantee That This Is No Mere Local History. It Is In Fact A Portrait Of The Heart And Soul Of America, And A Book That Will Mesmerize Everyone Interested In The Peaks And Valleys Of American Life As Found In The Greatest City On Earth. Gotham Is A Dazzling Read, A Fastpaced, Brilliant Narrative That Carries The Reader Along As It Threads Hundreds Of Stories Into One Great Blockbuster Of A Book.
