I have read two, and am about the read one called The Hudson River, and don't think I can manage Gotham, due to its length, but what has appealed to those of you who are up on NYC history? Sue"" Here are two more great books " The Island at the Center of the World" Russel Shorto and "Native New Yorkers" Evan T Pritchard. Once you read them you will be hooked on NY books! The first book even tells of the origination of some of the street names. The second book tells you about the people that really made the streets.
