Publisher Description:
"The Epic of New York City" is the most comprehensive - and certainly the most entertaining - history of New York City ever published. From Peter Stuyvesant to Boss Tweed to Fiorello LaGuardia, from the first subway (only one block long ) to the first organized gang (started in a speakeasy near today's federal courthouse), Edward Robb Ellis traces four and a half centuries of colorful personalities and dramatic events. He explains, among other things, why the first City Hall was a tavern, how the blizzard of 1888 turned Macy's into a block - long slumber party, and what role the New York Public Library played in winning World War II. Ellis's plain - spoken prose captures the ebullience of the great city, the flavor of its streets and parks, and the excitement that makes Gotham a magnet for teeming millions every year.
