Some of the NYC location research in the book is based on my own reconnaissance, but other research was done with Google Maps. This chapter and the next are an example of the latter, but one day I would like to take the subway up to Inwood to do some on-the-ground research.
There remains a debate as whether the sale of Manhattan took place at the site of the rock in Inwood or elsewhere, and whether island was actually sold or leased.
