Summary: "Great Cities of the United States" by Gertrude Van Duyn Southworth and Stephen Elliott Kramer is a historical and descriptive account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the geography and development of major American cities, showcasing their historical significance, commercial growth, and industrial features. With a particular emphasis on the thirteen largest cities, the book blends geography with engaging narratives that illuminate the unique characteristics of each city. The opening of the book introduces New York City, recounting its early history through the accounts of explorers, settlers, and pivotal events in its development. It begins with the arrival of Henry Hudson's vessel and details how the Dutch negotiated with Native Americans to purchase Manhattan Island, establishing New Amsterdam. The narrative then traces the city's evolution through significant milestones, such as the English takeover that renamed it New York, its role during the American Revolution, and subsequent growth fueled by trade, immigration, and infrastructure developments like the Erie Canal. The depiction contrasts New York's rich past against its bustling present, setting the stage for the exploration of other cities in the subsequent chapters.
