In Footprints in New York: Tracing the Lives of Four Centuries of New Yorkers (Lyons Press), tour guides and authors James and Michelle Nevius explore the stories of notable citizens of the Big Apple. The authors tell the stories of everyone from slave traders and long-forgotten politicians to the movers and shakers of Gilded Age society and the Greenwich Village folk scene. One part history and one part personal narrative, “Footprints in New York” creates a different way of looking at the past, exploring new connections and forgotten chapters in the story of America’s greatest metropolis.
“Footprints in New York” has some of the sharpest, most informative meditations on the history of the city that I have encountered in a long time.” —Edwin G. Burrows, Pulitzer Prize winner co-author of Gotham.
James and Michelle Nevius have been leading historical and architectural walking tours of New York City for many years. They are authors of two previous books, Inside the Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City and Frommer’s 24 Great Walks in New York.
