This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Need of a History of New York Hrice during the early history of our State the fate of the nation has hung in the balance within its border. First in the contention between Holland and England so interestingly told in The American Colonies in the 17th Century, by Professor Herbert L. Osgood; then throughout the French and English Wars, 1745 - 1759, for the Niagara frontier and control of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain. Had France been successful we should have been a French colony and our Revolution a matter of doubtful conjecture. In 1777 the struggle for the Hudson was the critical moment of our independence. Indeed, the Hudson River was the keystone of the arch that held New England to the Southern States. In our city, the Sons of Liberty and later the Committee of Correspondence moulded the events that brought about the first Continental Congress of the Colonies at Philadelphia in 1774. New York holds also the honor of being the only colony who lived up to their non-importation agreement of October 31, 1765.

The story of American progress is builded upon matters of even greater importance than its records of wars, of politics, and of men of renown. Between the lines of every history should be read the unwritten but not less notable story of the people. The family and descendants of Tennis Jansen, the honest burgher of the Winckel Street, may have had no existence in fact, but they can stand as types of those living, laboring folk, the people, whose daily duties, activities, cares and needs, are a part at once of the story and the success of the great State of New York.

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.
