Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 by Edwin G. Burrows, Mike Wallace
5.0
A truly stupendous achievement, which I am amazed to see not only didn't take multiple lifetimes, but somehow spawned an equally massive sequel.
I've never read a book with even half as much information as was contained within, and I read a lot of nonfiction. I don't know whether it is a must read, but if one were to read just a single American history book, this very well might be the one.
