Cover of Washington Irving: Knickerbocker's History of New York (PDF)

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.
