New York - A Novel from Rutherford
It is the story of New York from the beginning until today.
The author has setup a fictive family which started in the early 1600 when the first Netherlands made a settlement at the tip of Manhattan and that family lives on through the times, meet all the important persons around history, the war with the Indians, between English and French, the independence war ... right now they start thinking about free the slaves.
that's a really interesting book, that gives a lot of information's for someone, who lives in New York and want to know some of the history without going through the history books.
in style it is made like a book from Mika Waltari.
keep reading
