Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the City of New York: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time The preparation of this work was first suggested by the need of collecting the floating facts relative to the history and growth of our city, and condensing them into a compact form for the use of the general reader. In the short space of two hundred and fifty years, New York has sprung up, as it were, by magic, from a hamlet of four wretched huts, into the commercial metropolis of the western hemisphere. The many changes that have occurred during this time have been noted by lovers of their native city, who have made collections from time to time of facts and incidents invaluable to the historian yet these are scattered among numerous volumes, where few have time to seek and unearth them. Histories of the State also abound but there is not a single history of the city of New York from its earliest settlement to the present time.

This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the City of New York, Vol. 1 The earliest record of the existence of the American Continent is found among the literary legacies of the Icelanders of the tenth century, who were superior to the continental people of that age both in mental vigor and physical endurance. But their discoveries were the result of hap hazard adventure rather than scientific probabilities, and their efforts at colonization were signal failures. From their geographical works we find that they supposed these western lands to be a part of Europe; and, while the accounts of their expeditions were carefully preserved, not a line was committed to parchment until many centuries had passed, so that there is very little reason for presuming that succeeding generations were materially benefited by reason of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the City of New York In writing the story of New York, it has been the author's purpose to present a brief but comprehensive survey of the causes which led to the founding of the city, and of the various agencies which contributed to its marvellous growth, and to combine with this a narrative of such domestic details and romantic or picturesque incidents as would serve to render the picture clear and complete. The author hopes that his volume, while planned more particularly for the requirements of younger readers, may be found of service to citizens of all ages who may wish to inform themselves concerning the chief events in the history of the great city of the New World, and who may not find time for larger and more elaborate histories. It is startling to think that in twenty-five years, if the present rate of increase is continued, New York, with her history of two hundred and fifty years, will surpass London, with a life-time of twenty centuries, and will become the capital of the world - that is, in wealth and population.

Download or read book A Short History of the State of New York Classic Reprint written by John J. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the State of New York This history was begun several years ago by Dr. John J. Anderson, one of the best-known authors of textbooks on history in our country, and carried down through the War of 1812 to the year 1820. While engaged in the task he was smitten by a sad calamity, the partial loss of his eyesight. The publishers, at his suggestion and with his approval, then invited his collaborator to complete the hook. Dr. Anderson's manuscript, together with such material as he had gathered for the completion of the work, was placed in the hands of his associate, who made such changes as seemed advisable, and introduced much new matter, the result being the present volume. The authors' object was not to write a history of politics alone, nor to compile an encyclopedia of facts. Their purpose was to show the whole varied life of the state of New York as seen in the development of the educational, religious, social, industrial, and political institutions. This evolution began primarily in the people's minds and then took form in their acts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Victory City written by John Strausbaugh and published by Twelve. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From John Strausbaugh, author of City of Sedition and The Village, comes the definitive history of Gotham during the World War II era. New York City during World War II wasn't just a place of servicemen, politicians, heroes, G.I. Joes and Rosie the Riveters, but also of quislings and saboteurs; of Nazi, Fascist, and Communist sympathizers; of war protesters and conscientious objectors; of gangsters and hookers and profiteers; of latchkey kids and bobby-soxers, poets and painters, atomic scientists and atomic spies. While the war launched and leveled nations, spurred economic growth, and saw the rise and fall of global Fascism, New York City would eventually emerge as the new capital of the world. From the Gilded Age to VJ-Day, an array of fascinating New Yorkers rose to fame, from Mayor Fiorello La Guardia to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Langston Hughes to Joe Louis, to Robert Moses and Joe DiMaggio. In Victory City, John Strausbaugh returns to tell the story of New York City's war years with the same richness, depth, and nuance he brought to his previous books, City of Sedition and The Village, providing readers with a groundbreaking new look into the greatest city on earth during the most transformative -- and costliest -- war in human history.
