Helpful Score: 3
Having lived in NY and NJ all my life, I found this book AMAZING!! NYC's history from the 1600's to the present, along with the Dutch, Irish, Italians, British, Jewish and African American family stories, which span generations are so intriguing you just don't want this book book to end. The story of the African American slavery is not too well known in the early days of New York, and the horrors they endure is heartbreaking.
All is there; the wars, Prohibition, the Garment District fire where so many girls died, the crash of the stock market, building of the skyscrapers and they men who worked it, right up to 9/11. This book is hard to put down until you finish
I highly recommend this wonderful book.
