Summary:

Brooklyn's unique character grows out of a rich and colorful history, a complex tapestry of developing neighborhoods, striving immigrants, melding - sometimes clashing - cultures, booming and stagnating economic cycles. Guiding us into this historical panorama through five larger-than-life points of entry, Ellen M. Snyder-Grenier highlights the people, events, and places that have made Brooklyn, Brooklyn.
Lavishly illustrated with prints, paintings, memorabilia, and objects from The Brooklyn Historical Society's unparalleled collection, Brooklyn! will bring every reader closer to the Brooklyn of legend and fact.
