If you have ever been stuck in traffic wondering who on earth that Major Deegan was, then this is the book for you . . . .Naming Gotham introduces readers to the fascinating lives behind the names that have become New York City’s urban shorthand for traffic jams, culture, and recreation.

New York City's many roads, bridges, neighborhoods and institutions bear the names of a colorful assortment of people from key periods in the city's history. Learning about the people iconic Gotham landmarks are named for is a unique window into the history of the greatest city in the world.
