Queens Through Time

by Richard Panchyk

Overview

Queens, New York, has a long and storied history. From early Dutch settlements to British colonization to American independence, Queens only become a part of New York City at the end of the nineteenth century. This book chronicles the rapidly changing and growing borough as it shed the last vestiges of its bucolic origins and became the bustling place it is today. Yet despite its growth, there are still traces of the Queens of old scattered throughout. Take a visual journey through time with author and Queens native Richard Panchyk as he reveals striking then and now images of the city's largest borough.

About the Author

RICHARD PANCHYK knew he wanted to be a writer by the time he was seven years old. He sold his first "book," a four-page handwritten trivia booklet written on a folded piece of loose-leaf paper in runny blue ballpoint pen, to a third-grade classmate for a nickel. A native of Elmhurst, Queens, Richard attended Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, where a class on the fascinating history of New York ignited his interest in the area. He has published a total of thirty-four books, including nine titles on New York City and six on Long Island.
