Generously illustrated and replete with maps, the tours are designed to explore both ancient times and modern space. On these tours, readers will see where archaeologists have discovered evidence of the earliest New Yorkers, the Native Americans who arrived at least 11,000 years ago. They will learn about thousand-year-old trading routes, sacred burial grounds, and seventeenth-century villages. They will also see sites that reveal details of the lives of colonial farmers and merchants, enslaved Africans, Revolutionary War soldiers, and nineteenth-century hotel keepers, grocers, and housewives. Some tours bring readers to popular tourist attractions (the Statue of Liberty and the Wall Street district, for example) and present them in a new light. Others center on places that even the most seasoned New Yorker has never seen-colonial houses, a working farm, out-of-the-way parks, and remote beaches-often providing beautiful and unexpected views from the city's vast shoreline. A celebration of New York City's past and its present, this unique book will intrigue everyone interested in the city and its history. 606 $aWalking$zNew York (State)$zNew York Region$vGuidebooks 606 $aHistoric sites$zNew York (State)$zNew York Region 607 $aNew York Region$xAntiquities 607 $aNew York Region$xHistory, Local 607 $aNew York Region$vTours 615 0$aWalking 615 0$aHistoric sites 676 $a917.47/10444 700 $aWall$b Diana diZerega$01715096 701 $aCantwell$b Anne-Marie E.$f1935-$01715097 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821524703321 996 $aTouring Gotham's archaeological past$94109417 997 $aUNINA
