New
York, Year by Year A Chronology of the Great Metropolis by Jeffrey A. Kroessler
"A fascinating chronological history of New York City
looking at the people and events that helped shape the city."
If any city deserves a complete chronology, it is surely New
York. New York, Year by Year is a cornucopia of the
familiar and the forgotten, the historic and the ephemeral,
the heroic and the banal. In this handy reference work, Dr.
Kroessler takes us from Verrazano's arrival in 1524 into the
new millennium, highlighting the strikes and strikeouts, tunnels
and towers, personalities and parades, which not only made
history in New York but also proved to be defining moments
for the nation.
Astorian Jeffrey A. Kroessler, is a contributor to
The Encyclopedia of New York City, and the author of
Lighting the Way: The Queens Borough Public Library, 1896-1996.
He received his Ph.D. from the CUNY Graduate, is currently
the historian at the Archives and Special Collections in the
Library of the College of Staten Island and board member of
the Greater Astoria Historical Society.
