	Long Island History: LI to NY: Hey, You Owe Us
		Well, Burrows does live in Northport, and he does teach history at Brooklyn College -- and any decent map will show you that Flatbush is still part of Long Island -- but his upbringing and education were elsewhere and, anyway, his academic bona fides transcend such pettifoggery.
		Burrows was the main speaker recently at the annual Hofstra Conference on Long Island Studies, and his talk -- "Gotham Without Long Island: Thinking the Unthinkable" -- was provocative.
		A reminder: Burrows and Mike Wallace of John Jay College of Criminal Justice were the co-authors of "Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898," which won the 1999 Pulitzer for history.

		Professor Burrows seems to have lost sight of the fact that the most important responsibility of a professor is to teach us.
		Professor Burrows and those who agree with his skewed position instead seem to want professors who support them on departmental matters and tote the line, whether or not these professors are good teachers.
		Burrows is correct when he writes that many of those who are “most indignant” about the way Brooklyn College handled KC Johnson’s tenure application have not been personally involved in the process and thus have no “access to the actual record.” And a good thing too.

	February 1999
		A "page turner" with the impact of a novel, but grounded in the best and most recent scholarship, Gotham has been hailed as the best history of the city ever written.
		Burrows and Wallace (not the Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes) present the turbulent 400-year tale of the 17th century Dutch colony which grew to be the "first city" and "informal capital" of the United States by the end of the 19th century.
		More than 250 illustrations and photographs, some taken 8000 feet below the surface of the ocean, depict the recovery process and the ship's treasure, as well as life on the ocean floor.

		A tome matching the size of its subject, this doorstopper (the first of a two-volume history) more than justifies the 20 years Burrows and Wallace spent on itAnot to mention the space it will take on the nightstands of New Yorkers actual, former, future and presumptive.
		Underneath reasoned academic prose lies a populist bent, unflinching in relating ugly events and describing the unsavory behavior of prominent figures; in its original sense, "Gotham" denotes a town of tricksters and fools, and this book is full of both.
		I am happy to say that Burrows and Wallace's GOTHAM was worth every second I spent poring through its pages.

	Metropolis Departments: In Review, On the Town
		Burrows and Wallace try to weave every aspect of the city's history--economic, social, political, military, architectural, and cultural--into a continuous, dramatic narrative, almost novelistic in feel, told from the point of view of every stratum of society.
		The authors quote so extensively from letters, documents, and firsthand accounts--in order to "adopt the perspective of contemporaries as we relate their experiences, remaining mostly in their 'now'"--that in the strongest passages the story seems to tell itself through the voices of its characters.

		Their work begins with the lay of the land and its earliest Native American inhabitants and proceeds seamlessly to tell the story of New York City's growth and the expansion of its economic power.

The authors' exhilaration gives Gotham the momentum of great journalism and rich history.
