Synopsis
This history of Westchester County, New York, from the time of European settlement to the present, examines four centuries of development in an iconic region that became the archetypal American suburb. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, the author uncovers a complex and often surprising narrative of slavery, anti-Semitism, immigration, Jim Crow, silent film stars, suffragettes, gangland violence, political riots, eccentric millionaires, industry and aviation, man-made disasters and assassinations., This is a densely researched and comprehensive examination of the deep history of the region from the time of European settlement to the present day. Taking an expansive approach to local history, it examines how the broad channels of the American narrative played out in the development of an iconic region that became a prototype for suburban living.

    The textbook was better than described. It looks like brand new! The price was appropriate for the type of textbook that it is. The appearance and quality of the textbook was impeccable. The shipping took about 2 weeks to arrive, but the textbook was well worth the wait. Seller packaged my textbook beautifully which ensured that it arrived unharmed and in perfect condition. Excellent seller! I would purchase more items from this seller in the future!

    Living near the city...the history of a great NY suburb

    I have been reading several books on the cities and towns in Westchester before my trip there. I grew up in the area but had no idea of its history except for anecdotal information. This book is great--compelling, concise and just plain exciting to read.
