Reviews

"A terrific book." Adam Gopnik, New Yorker "A thoroughly enjoyable narrative, seductively packaged... A treasure." Gerard Koeppel, New York Observer "Trailblazing." Herbert Mitgang, New York Daily News "An absorbing, panoramic narrative. Cantwell and Wall raise provocative questions about the nature of cities, urbanization, colonial experience, Indian life, family, and use of space. Engagingly written and abundantly illustrated, Unearthing Gotham offers a fresh perspective on the richness of the American legacy." Science News
