Governors Island in New York Harbor played an important role in history from being a British fort in the 1700s to a station for the U.S. Army and Coast Guard until 1996. This book brings the legacy to life through never-before-published photographs, blueprints, architectural plans, and interviews with former residents. It reveals an evolving penal system, tells the story worldwide contagion and local sanitation, covers ethnic assimilation, reveals the changing roles of women in the military, and takes a look at military and civilian recreational life on the island.
Edited by Anne Wehr. Introduction by Tom Eccles, Susan Freedman and James Lima.
