The Borough of the Bronx, 1639-1913: Its Marvelous Development and Historical Surroundings (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Excerpt from The Borough of the Bronx, 1639-1913: Its Marvelous Development and Historical Surroundings

The teeming Borough today is a noble monument to the greatness of the men who brought it into being. As long as it endures their achievements will be told in song and story.

Here will be found a record of the extraordinary growth of this great Borough. It is not the purpose of this work, however, to give a detailed description of the early history of The Bronx, but rather a brief summary of the most memorable events in its historical, commercial and municipal development.

It has been the aim of this book to indicate the modern development and future prospects of the Borough as well as to create associations of Colonial and Revolutionary memories with which almost every inch of ground in the Borough is hallowed.
