Re-writing the history of Manhattan through maps
I recently had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Joel Grossman cover a bunch of work he’s done in recent years, and as usual i was totally blown away! Using historic maps and methodical research, he’s been able to stitch together a historical snapshot of colonial Manhattan that’s totally shattered the widely accepted geography of the early Dutch settlement. If you haven’t had the pleasure of checking out his work, do yourself a favor and view these projects now…
