Brooklyn, a magical name, both fantasy and enigma. Yet despite its
reputation, Brooklyn consists of provincial, suburban
neighborhoods, a small town. For over 300 years, Brooklyn suffered
growing pains, but it also offered hospitality, jobs, and
recreation, as the photographs in this volume show. Thus, millions
crossed the East River and worked hard to build a
city.  Brooklyn’s image grew and took hold: the
sounds of the streets and factories, the heroism, the loyalty, the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Historic Photos of Brooklyn shows how Brooklyn’s pride has
traveled from decade to decade, and with this continuity, how
Brooklyn has matured, building farmhouses, frame houses,
skyscrapers, classrooms, brownstones, libraries, mom-and-pop
stores, department stores, restaurants, theaters, ships, elevated
trains, and airplanes. Today’s residents carry on a
tradition started centuries ago, traditions that are highlighted in
Historic Photos of Brooklyn.
