From an acclaimed author and a New York Times Best Illustrated artist comes the fascinating, little-known-and true!-story of New York City's first subway.
Shana Corey has written several picture books, among them Here Come
the Girl Scouts!, a New York Times Editors' Choice, and You Forgot
Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer, which the New York Times called "a
picture book girls are likely to love." She has always been
intrigued by New York City history, so when she came across a
passing mention of Alfred Ely Beach's underground train, she wanted
to know more. It wasn't long before she was skulking around Warren
and Murray Streets, looking for the site of Devlin's department
store, and seeking out Boss Tweed's grave in Greenwood Cemetery.
