Paperback

“Superb. [A] first-rate narrative” (The Wall Street Journal) about the controversial construction of New York’s beloved original Penn Station and its tunnels, from the author of Eiffel's Tower and Urban Forests

As bestselling books like Ron Chernow's
Titan and David McCullough's The Great Bridge affirm, readers are fascinated with the grand personalities and schemes that populated New York at the close of the nineteenth century. Conquering Gotham re- creates the riveting struggle waged by the great Pennsylvania Railroad to build Penn Station and the monumental system of tunnels that would connect water-bound Manhattan to the rest of the continent by rail. Historian Jill Jonnes tells a ravishing tale of snarling plutocrats, engineering feats, and backroom politicking packed with the most colorful figures of Gilded Age New York.

Conquering Gotham will be featured in an upcoming episdoe of PBS's American Experience.

The winner is…
Size: X-Large, Color: Liberty Navy
I’ve been looking for some good quality polos for a while but it gets frustrating when you’re not someone who likes the labels/logos all over the place. After looking and ordering many polos, this was exactly what I was looking for. High quality materials and fit was perfect all around (length, chest). I already ordered two more.

Great shirt...I am an athletic, fit 68 year old male and the cotton/polyester combination is perfect! Leave the straight polyester shirts for the young guys! Great shirt for playing golf.

Quality
Truly this is a well made shirt. Nice cut and details. Fits me well an XL. This is regular roomy fit. The fabric blend is a fine pique. Hopefully it gives at least one year of wearing it about every 10 days.
