Book Description
Historic Richmond Town, established in 1958 by the Staten Island Historical Society and the City of New York, is a 100-acre historic village. With many carefully-restored sites, the area boasts events, tours, and places to visit. The photographs that make up this fascinating visual history bring to life the rich cultural heritage of this unique area. Like layers of antique paint, years peel back, revealing scenes from a time when things seemed simpler. As we turn the pages, we visit the Voorlezer House, St. Andrews Church, the Lighthouse, the home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Richmond County (Staten Island) New York: From Its Discovery to the Present Time The preparation of a history like this invo'lves the employ ment of a great variety of means, drawing from a multitude of sources. The compiler is frequently obliged to accept the statements of others without knowing upon what data those statements are made. The utter impossibility of any one man being able, during the brief term of one human life, to go to the bottom of every fact stated in a work of this kind must be too apparent to need -explanation. There are a. Hundred ways by which errors may creep in. The editor can but use his best judgment as to the reliability of the authorities upon which he depends for statements, and his constant and most careful vigilance in guarding against erroneous statements. This he has done in the preparation of this work, and that vigilance has been rendered more effective by the experience the editor has had heretofore in the preparation of similar works in other fields.
