| Summary | "Nooks & Corners of Old New York" by Charles Hemstreet is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the storied past of lower Manhattan, detailing significant landmarks, their histories, and the urban development that shaped the area. It delves into the foundation of the city, drawing connections between its early colonial days and the modern layout we recognize today. The opening of the book sets the stage for a rich exploration of Manhattan's history, starting with Fort Amsterdam, which marked the initial settlement of the area. Hemstreet discusses the evolution of the city's streets, their chaotic origins, and the eventual urban planning efforts that sought to impose order. Key historical figures and events are introduced, establishing a connection to vital locations such as Bowling Green Park and Fraunces' Tavern, as well as early institutions that laid the groundwork for the busy metropolis. This introduction provides a glimpse into the fascinating stories and places that will be uncovered in the following chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
