Summary:
This innovative book follows the history of
Manhattan
Island
from its natural formation to the bustling city today. It explores the ways in which nature and people are connected, tracking the people who lived on
Manhattan
from the Lenape Indians to Dutch settlers hunting for beaver pelts to early Americans and beyond, and how they've (literally) shaped the
island
(and vice versa). Jen Thermes highlights watershed moments where nature demanded action of New Yorkers--the Great Fire of 1835, the Great Blizzard of 1888, and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. In special sidebars, she closely traces specific threads of history and their lasting impact today--New York as a hub for immigration and the slave trade, for example. This epic volume chronicles the rise of
Manhattan
through the lenses of geography, city planning, sociology, historiography, and more.
