Washington Irving 
Knickerbocker’s History of New York 
Complete

Today, author Washington Irving is best remembered for the iconic tales "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." However, Irving also produced a number of well-regarded works of history and biography. This brilliant volume combines fact and fiction, offering a satirical – and often imagined – history of New York from the perspective of make-believe Dutch historian Diedrich Knickerbocker.
