Audio Book Summary

The history of New York City is told as a story, in few words. It begins with Henry Hudson's discovery of Manhattan in 1609. And it finishes in 1898 when the island of Manhattan becomes the Borough of Manhattan of Greater New York. (Summary by Guero.)

    A bit dry but hey, it’s a history book. A lot of info packed into a short amount of time commitment. Focuses mostly on the period before 1800. A lot of things I had no idea about including how Wall Street got its name.

    Fascinating story, especially the early years. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
