Within the boundaries of New York City are dozens of islands with colourful and lurid pasts - some famous, such as Ellis, some infamous, such as Rikers, and others not so well-known, such as North Brother. This guide and history offers a sense of how the city's politics, population and landscape have evolved over the last two centuries. Presenting offbeat stories and little-known facts and legends, the book aims to provide an entertaining account of the history of New York from an unusual perspective.
