ISBN:  9780393357929 (pbk.) Alternate title:  History of New York City in thirteen miles Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xvi, 512 p. : ill., maps, portraits ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 425-487) and index. Summary:  "Today, Broadway almost feels inevitable, but over the past four hundred years there have been thousands who have tried to draw and erase its path. Following their footsteps, we learn why one side of the street was once considered more fashionable than the other; witness the construction of Trinity Church, the Flatiron Building, and the Ansonia Hotel; the burning of P. T. Barnum’s American Museum; and discover that Columbia University was built on the site of an insane asylum. Along the way we meet Alexander Hamilton, Emma Goldman, Edgar Allan Poe, John James Audubon, "Bill the Butcher" Poole, and the assorted real-estate speculators, impresarios, and politicians who helped turn Broadway into New York’s commercial and cultural spine."
