    Edward Burrows and Mike Wallace, Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 (Oxford University Press, 1998; 2000)
    Two decades of collaborative research on the history of New York City — from the days of the Lenape Indians to Teddy Roosevelt — compiled into one massive, photo-stocked, Pulitzer Prize-winning tome. Those intimidated by its bulk can dip into its standalone chapters; those who brave its girth will be rewarded with a compelling narrative.
