Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, my third book about Staten Island, takes a look into our islands rich and diverse past in a series of short stories. Be they myth, folklore, legend or tales, they have been past down from generation to generation. Some are proven true, some are believed to be false but the one thing they all have in common, they have been repeated time after time and they are fascinating stories. I am sure that some of these stories will bring up fond memories of Staten Islands past. Some of what you will discover in this book are, tales of a Mad Monk in St. Augustine Monastery, Lost Treasure off Staten Island shores, a story about a colorful character called The Indian Lady from Shooters Island, find out why a Nazi prisoner returned after his escape from the armys Halloran General Hospital (Willowbroow State School), discover the connection that Ichabod Crane, the Lindbergh baby, Willie Sutton and the Queen of England had to Staten Island, sit back and enjoy stories of stills and moonshine, gangsters, buried treasures, local ghosts and much more.

Download or read book Staten Island in the Nineteenth Century written by Joseph Borelli and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from the Revolutionary War and the formation of a new nation, Staten Island was poised to enter the nineteenth century ripe for growth and prosperity. Fueled by waves of immigration, Richmond County became a boomtown of industry and transportation. Piloting his first ferry with just two small masts and eighteen-cent fares, Cornelius Vanderbilt built a transit empire from his native shores of Staten Island. When the Civil War erupted, Richmond played a key role in housing and training Union troops as 125 naval guns protected New York Harbor at the Narrows. At the close of the century, Staten Island was swept up in the politics of consolidation, with 84 percent of locals voting to join Greater New York, yet the promised benefits of a new mega-city never materialized. Author Joe Borelli charts the trials and triumphs of Staten Island in the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Port Richmond written by Phillip Papas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornelius Vanderbilt, Aaron Burr, Faber Pencils, the atomic bomb, Paul Zindel, and David Johansen all have one thing in common: Port Richmond. Many Staten Islanders flocked to Richmond Avenue, known as the Fifth Avenue of Staten Island, to shop at Garber Brothers or at Tirone's Shoes or enjoy an ice-cream soda at Stechman's. The Ritz, Palace, and Empire Theaters hosted vaudeville shows, films, rock concerts, and roller-skating. More than a dozen places of worship have been founded in Port Richmond since the late 1600s, mirroring the community's ethnic diversity. Port Richmond traces the unique contributions of each new wave of immigrants to the neighborhood.
