"A History of the City of Brooklyn and Kings County" is a comprehensive account of the New York City's most populous borough from the time of the discovery of America until the late 19th century. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city, and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution, until 1898, when, after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the new Municipal Charter of "Greater New York", Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern City of New York. The borough continued, however, to maintain a distinct culture._x000D_ Volume 1:_x000D_ The Region of Brooklyn at the Time of the Discovery_x000D_ Discovery and First Settlements_x000D_ The Indians and the Early Settlers_x000D_ The Beginnings of Breuckelen 1643-1647_x000D_ Domestic and Social Life under the Dutch 1647-1664_x000D_ Kings County after the English Conquest 1665-1700_x000D_ Brooklyn before the Revolution 1701-1775_x000D_ Kings County during the Revolution 1775-1783_x000D_ Volume 2:_x000D_ Brooklyn after the Revolution 1784–1810_x000D_ Brooklyn Village 1811-1833_x000D_ The City of Brooklyn 1834-1860_x000D_ The Period of the Civil War 1861-1865_x000D_ Brooklyn after the War 1866-1876_x000D_ The Modern City 1877-1893

From the time that Brooklyn was made a city in 1834 this narrative is much more than a statistical account of political changes and the rise of diiferent institutions of education, charity, punishment, and so on. It shows the growth of a city that now is part of the metropolis of New York, but still stands out as one of the most populated communities in the United States. A good read not only for the people of Brooklyn, but highly recommended to everyone interested in US history.

Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII KINGS COUNTY DURING THE REVOLUTION Kings County at the Opening of the Revolution. Participation in Events leading to the Crisis. Military Officers. Long Island Tories. The Continental and Provincial Congresses. Fortifying. Declaration of Independence. General Greene on Long Island. Draft in Kings County. Landing of the British at Gravesend. The Battle of Brooklyn. The Night Retreat. British Occupation of the County.

Prisoners billeted on the Inhabitants of Kings County. Long Island Refugees. Conspicuous Figures of the Period. Peace. The position of Kings County, while actually close to the rapidly growing city on Manhattan Island, was relatively so much aloof in many of its interests from that storm centre of colonial activity in the middle colonies, that it was natural, perhaps, that there should be less enthusiasm over the independent cause than in New York itself, or than in certain other regions less sequestered geographically and by local condition. But the quiet Dutch towns, if slow to anger under British rule, nevertheless acquired a definite patriotic energy as time advanced, in spite of peculiarly discouraging conditions introduced by British occupations. There may have been the appearance of lethargy, but Kings County's quietude in the face of excitement elsewhere did not mean a want of sympathy, but resulted from a special strain of suppression. "Many fowling-pieces," writes Stiles, "were cut down and fitted with bayonets, and those who had two guns loaned to those who had none."1 The MS. of General Jeremiah Johnson, whose name is indelibly associated with...
