Summary: excellent survey of New York's history
Comment: This book is a survey of New York history from its prehistorical roots through twentieth century. It may not be terribly exciting compared to a novel, but it is well written and highly informative. One is quick to reccomend it to any one who is interested in American history, and New York state in particular. By far, it is the best, up to date history of the state available. All the better, it is in print. I work for a museum organization and we use it as the basis of our interpretation. It is outstanding for its intended use, which is as a general survey and reference book. Highly recommended, though for a select audience.
Rating: 2
Summary: A long slow read.
Comment: This book showed promise, but falls into a writing style that will put the most avid history reader to sleep in a big hurry. It is ponderous and totally unentertaining. It could be a textbook for a college level history course on New York State, only more boring. The only reason I can see to pick up this book is for the cover art. You're better off coming to Cooperstown and seeing the artwork first hand.
