Description

The excellent quality of the source material should not be allowed to obscure that Wallace and Burrows perform brilliantly at what they supposed to do as synthesis historians which is to create a coherent overview and tell an engaging story. There are potted histories of canals, railways, the telephone, electricity, streetcars, whorehouses, insurance.

We offer a range of services, including copyediting, proofreading, cover design, and formatting, to ensure that your book is of the highest quality. The city's growth from being a city with about the same population and influence as Boston and Philadelphia in the late 1700s into America's leading metropolis and business center is the real main theme of this book, and of course, New York's growth went hand in hand with America's. Although not the greatest city in the colonies (that honor would probably go to Philadelphia or Boston), New York was destined for greatness by its location.One can now understand why aliens always land in New York rather than Muncie, Indiana or Abilene, Texas. Unfortunately, even the most masterly prose is dead on the page if there is no discernable person behind it. Gotham is a dazzling read, a fast-paced, brilliant narrative that carries the reader along as it threads hundreds of stories into one great blockbuster of a book.

There's a lot to say about it, but I'll limit my review to this: The sections on New York's role in national and international affairs, politics, and economics are good, but the sections on fashion, culture, popular entertainment, and writing are even better. The countless topics include, to list but a few, New York's wars with the Indians and its pro-Crown leanings, its financial support for the slave trade and its bloody draft riots during the Civil War, the commercial imperatives and the waves of immigration that constantly redefined it.The Brooklyn Bridge being opened by PT Barnum, who marches a parade of 21 elephants across its expanse. Previous winners include Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott (2022) and Deacon King Kong by James McBride (2021).
