"When Trinity School opened its doors in 1709, Queen Anne ruled the American colonies from a palace in London, and the five thousand inhabitants of the small outpost called New York mostly lived in small houses south of Wall Street. There was of course no such thing as the United States, and Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and John Adams had not yet even been born. Much has changed over the past three centuries, but the mission of Trinity School has remained much the same - hard work and moral excellence. Timothy C. Jacobson tells this remarkable story with economy and grace in this first ever interpretive history of the institution." KENNETH T. JACKSON, Barzun Professor of History, Columbia University. President emeritus, New-York Historical Society Editor-in-Chief, The Encyclopedia of New York City"
