Numerous enchanting illustrations depict: . Manhattan Island in primitive solitude . Dutch windmills . first view of New Amsterdam . first ferry to Long Island . Stuyvesant's pear tree . City Hall, Wall Street . and dozens more. Originally published from 1877 to 1881, this is a delight to browse-for history buffs and lovers of the grand metropolis alike.
