Description

Physically isolated from the rest of New York City, the only borough with no direct roadway to Manhattan, the smallest in population, and the most rural, Staten Island is probably the least known of the five boroughs and perhaps the most misunderstood. Carol V. Wright's readable, affectionate, amusing tribute takes you straight to the Island's heart, exploring its monuments, its open spaces, and its maritime heritage, as well as meeting memorable characters from Vanderbilt's to vagrants to seventeen-year cicadas. Whether you are visiting Staten Island for a few hours on the ferry or have lived there all your life, you will surely enjoy this book.

Author Biography:

Carol V. Wright is author of five editions of Blue Guide: New York; as well as books on women's health and cooking. Her work has appeared in The New York Times and other periodicals and has been translated into several languages. She was born on Staten Island and now lives in Connecticut.
