Summary:	"Stop, look, and discover-the streets and parks of Manhattan are filled with beautiful historic monuments that will entertain, stimulate, and inspire you. Among the fifty-four monuments in this volume are major figures in American history: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, the Marquis de Lafayette, Horace Greeley, and Gertrude Stein; more obscure figures: Daniel Butterfield, J. Marion Sims, and King Jagiello; as well as icons of New York: Atlas, Prometheus, and the Firemen's Memorial. The monuments represent the work of some of America's best sculptors: Augustus Saint-Gaudens's Farragut and Sherman, Daniel Chester French's Four Continents, and Anna Hyatt Huntington's Jose Marti and Joan of Arc." "Each monument, illustrated with black-and-white photographs, is located on a map of Manhattan and includes easy-to-follow directions. All the sculptures are consider both as historical mementos and as art. Sidebars reveal other aspect of the figure or event commemorated, using personal quotes, poems, excerpts from nineteenth-century periodicals (The New York Times, Harper's Weekly), and writers ranging from Aeschylus, Washington Irving, and Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi to Mark Twain and Henryk Sienkiewicz." "As a historical account, Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan is a fascinating look at figures and events that changed New York, the United States, and the world. As an aesthetic handbook, it provides a concise method for learning to study sculpture. For residents and tourists, historians and students, and anyone who wants to spend more time viewing and appreciating sculpture and New York history, this is the start of a unique voyage of discovery.
