1 comments about Strange But True: New York City: Tales of the Big Apple (Strange But True).
- There are a lot of wonderful stories in New York, but unfortunately you won't find them in this book.
Instead, you'll find a pastiche of trivia, factoids, and opinion. Which would be fine if so much of it weren't, in fact, "Strange but False." Dates are constantly stated incorrectly and stories that are best questionable--and at worst untrue--are presented as fact. (For example, the barrels on the seal of New York City aren't there because barrel-making was such a hot industry in the city; they are there to represent flour milling. And there weren't 500 brothels in the Five Points in the 1850s. These are just two of MANY questionable entries.)
On the other hand, in the section of "Urban Myths," stories that are definitely true (such as the finding once of a small caiman [an alligator-like creature] in Central Park) are presented as tall tales.
The book is highly disorganized and seems to have zero fact checkers. Which is odd with a book called "Strange But True."
