Burrows and Mike Wallace have written an epic as vast and varied as the city it chronicles. Drawing on the work of hundreds of scholars who have reexamined New York's past, the authors weave together diverse histories - of sex and sewer systems, finance and architecture, immigration and politics, poetry and crime - into a single narrative tapestry that reads like a fast-paced novel. Readers will relive the tumultuous early years of New Amsterdam under the Dutch, the Indian wars and Peter Stuyvesant's autocratic regime, the English conquest, the rise of slave trading and slave revolts, the invasion and garrisoning of the city during the Revolution. They will watch New York blossom over the nineteenth century into the country's greatest port, leading manufacturing center, preeminent financial hub, corporate headquarters, and incubator of mass cultural innovations from vaudeville and baseball to Coney Island and the department store. 330 8 $aBut the real heroes and heroines of Gotham are New Yorkers themselves, and the authors provide mini-biographies of hundreds of individuals, ranging from the world famous to the virtually unknown. The interplay among New York's fiercely heterogeneous citizens was often abrasive, and Gotham recounts the way clashes between immigrants and old-timers, rich and poor, blacks and whites flamed into fierce street battles like the Civil War draft riots. But New Yorkers also forged connections and coalitionscreating multi-national picket lines, interracial reform movements, and multi-ethnic political tickets. Their fusions and collisions generated tremendous kinetic energy, cultural inventiveness, and a vision of unity-in-diversity that would become a distinctive contribution to world civilization. 410 0$aHistory of NYC 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 606 $aUnited States Local History$2HILCC 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xHistory 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xBuildings, structures, etc$xHistory 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 615 7$aUnited States Local History 676 $a974.7/1 700 $aBurrows$b Edwin G.$f1943-2018.$0963419 701 $aWallace$b Mike$g(Mike L.)$0382846 701 $aWallace$b Mike$f1942-$01686279 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bC#P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826784003321 996 $aGotham$94059006 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
