Purchased from the Manhattan tribe of the Wappinger Confederacy by the Dutch, Governors Island has long been the secret island in New York's harbor. Although this pristine island has appeared on maps since the 1600s, little regarding it has been known by the populace. It has been the site of horse races, inventions, college classes, hangings, military musters, and unidentified bones. All of these are part of the unique history explored within the pages of Governors Island.

Excerpt from Castle Williams: Historic Structure Report, Governors Island National Monument National Parks of New York Harbor, New York, New York Castle Williams and Fort Jay are both located on Governors Island. Fort Jay was constructed of mostly earthen materials in 1794, and was reconstructed in masonry 1806 09. At that time it was renamed Fort Columbus. Fort Columbus was also the name of the military post located on Governors Island, of which Castle Williams was a part. The name of both the post and the fortification officially reverted back to Fort Jay in 1904, which is still used today. Castle Williams was frequently found to be misspelled as Castle William in both published and unpublished, primary and secondary sources, throughout the years. This historical misspelling is preserved in the excerpts included in this report. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
