About this listen
Explore the history of New York State, the Empire State!
Do you know the WHOLE story of the State of New York, from the first human inhabitants to the years it was a Dutch colony? The state produced four presidents, was the first in many areas, and created its own state of mind.
What made New York into the state it has become? Was there something unique about Manhattan Island? Was there something about the people that made them so successful? Why is it called the Empire State? Why was the Erie Canal so important?
In this audiobook, you will learn the answers to these questions and more about the following:
- The original Native American tribes that called New York home
- The rise and fall of New Netherlands and New Amsterdam
- The English occupation and the eventual Revolutionary War
- The founding families, like the Livingstons and Jays
- The creation and importance of the Erie Canal
- The development of New York City, Buffalo, and Albany
- The essence of the New Yorker spirit
- The role New York played in the Civil War, World War I, and World War II
- How New York became home to the first steamboat, railroad, and electric power plant
- How New York City and New York State have come to rely on and fight with each other
- And so much more!
