Manhattan : mapping the story of an island / Jennifer Thermes. by Thermes, Jennifer. Abrams Books for Young Readers, c2019. Call #: 974.71 T411m Subjects Cartography -- Juvenile literature.   Manhattan (New York, N.Y.) -- History -- Juvenile literature.   Manhattan (New York, N.Y.) -- History -- Maps -- Juvenile literature. ISBN:  9781419736551 1419736558 Description:  1 volume (unnumbered pages) : color illustrations, color maps ; 34 cm. Notes:  Maps on endpapers. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. 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. Audience:  8-12 Brodart.
