Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eInwood, the northernmost neighborhood of Manhattan, has a rich yet little-known history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor centuries, the region remained practically unchanged - a quaint, country village known to early Dutch settlers as Tubby Hook. The subway's arrival in the early 1900s transformed the area, once scorned as \"ten miles from a beefsteak,\" from farm to city virtually overnight. The same construction boom sparked an age of neighborhood self-discovery, when vestiges of the past - in the form of mastodon bones, arrowheads, colonial pottery, Revolutionary War cannonballs, and forgotten cemeteries - emerged from the earth. Waves of German, Irish, and Dominican immigrants subsequently produced a vibrant urban oasis with a big-city\/small-town feel. Inwood has also been home to wealthy country estates, pre-integration sports arenas, and a lively waterfront culture. Famous residents have included NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Basketball Diaries author Jim Carroll, and Hamilton creator\/star Lin-Manuel Miranda.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Cole Thompson, Don Rice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070218948842,"sku":"9781467102780","price":12.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/81WcU60_ZwL._SY522.jpg?v=1781250655","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/lost-inwood-images-of-america","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
