Review:
About the Author:
"Here is a fascinating chronological history of New York City from 1524-2001, looking at the people, building, institutions, political events, music and businesses that helped shape the city."
-Booklist"The entries are well written and cover a broad range of topics, including political, social, and cultural, and the reader often cannot help but utter, 'I didn't know that.'"
-ARBA online"[Kroessler] does a fine job of chronicling the city's past, incorporating both little-known, flash-in-the-pan nuggest as well as far-reaching, recurring themes."
-Queens Chronicle"A fresh, endlessly fascinating perspective on the history of New York. The scholarship is serious, but the chronology is as fun as it is informative. Covering all boroughs, entries enrich the experience of the city for all who will explore its pages. One can thumb it forever."
-Thomas Bender, Director, International Center for Advanced Studies, New York University"For those who care about New York City and its history--and who doesn't these days?--New York, Year by Year is a rare treat. . . . a richly detailed, scrupulously researched reference book that is accessible, informative, accurate, and a great deal of fun."
-David Nasaw, author of The Chief: The Life of William Randolph HearstJeffrey A. Kroessler is a contributor to The Encyclopedia of New York City, and the author of Lighting the Way: The Queens Borough Public Library, 1896-1996. He received his Ph.D. from the CUNY Graduate is currently the historian at the Archives and Special Collections in the Library of the College of Staten Island.
