About this listen

The Story of Manhattan by Charles Hemstreet is a compelling narrative history of New York City, tracing the island’s evolution from a pristine, wooded homeland of Native Americans to the world-renowned metropolis we know today. Written in the early 20th century, this rich and engaging account captures pivotal moments—from Henry Hudson’s arrival aboard the Half Moon in 1609 to the colonial days of New Amsterdam, and beyond.

With vivid storytelling and historical insight, Hemstreet presents a city shaped by explorers, settlers, visionaries, and everyday people. Through its blend of folklore and fact, The Story of Manhattan invites listeners to rediscover the roots of America’s most iconic city and reflect on the layers of transformation that define it.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, educators, and fans of New York lore, this audiobook delivers an accessible and enlightening portrait of Manhattan’s deep heritage.
