Item Description
Can’t get enough of NYC history? Then snatch up this scintillating look at one of the city’s lesser known nooks – Governors Island. Historian (and great friend of Playwrights Horizons) Ann L. Buttenwieser has written a detailed account of this “quiet piece of Americana”, showcasing the island's rich history, including the vital role it played until recently in the country's armed forces. From its early days as the site of a British fort in the 1700s, to its longstanding role as a station for the U.S. Army and the Coast Guard, to its function as a venue for political receptions and parties, the island has hosted a dazzling parade of the brave and the dignified. This beautiful book is also signed by the author.
