The Island at the Center of the World, by Russell Shorto which I'm loving but talking about details, wow. 'From this time on, the Dutch refer to Van der Donck as 'the jonker' Long after his death the title would remain informally associated with the property -"the jonkers land," people would say. In the English period, this was shortened to Yonkers"....My mom was born in Yonkers.

Also I've just 'started' reading the epic book, The Power Broker Robert Moses and the Fall of New York. Very cool book. I can't help thinking how Mr Moses would of fared during The Island in the Center of the World period...I'll report back next yearhttp://www.amazon.com/Power-Broker-Robert-Moses-Fall/dp/0394720245
