There is only one New York. It didn’t make America, but it made possible the America we’ve come to know. Here – from American Heritage magazine and such historians as Nathaniel Benchley, David McCullough, and William V. Shannon – is its remarkable story: from Henry Hudson’s historic voyage and the sale of Manhattan Island to New York’s occupation by British forces during the Revolution and the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, and the Whitney Museum.
