Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Reminiscences of Lower Wall Street and Vicinity To call this volume a "History of Lower Wall Street and Vicinity" is to give it a far more ambitious title than it merits; for in this section of New York City events took place which led to the foundation of the United States as an independent nation. Here was the crucible in which the country´s early history was made. A history of the old Merchants Coffee House, in itself, would furnish matter for volumes, yet it has been neglected by historians and writers in general. Old Slip and Coenties Slip, in fact every street and corner in this historic neighborhood is worthy of tablets to commemorate events that took place there. My reminiscences of Lower Wall Street and Vicinity are of our merchants and places of business, seen through the eyes of youth. Undoubtedly I have overlooked mention of many prominent and interesting personages in the trade as well as many important business houses in this locality; but I sincerely believe that this record of firms and persons is as complete as any ordinary human mind could compile from memory.
