A newly discovered cache of magnificent historical photographs. There have been; and will be; other books on the New York City subway system; but none have had access to the wonderful photographic prints from the collections of the New York Transit Museum that are presented in this volume. Made from 8 x 10-inch glass negatives after the turn of the last century; and reproduced here in glorious duotone; over 175 images show the incredible construction techniques and details involved in creating the underground marvel we enjoy today. From "cut and cover" and deep tunneling to sinking under-river tubes and disastrous cave-ins; these photographs are nothing short of awe-inspiring. The book is accompanied by an engaging; illustrated history of the subway system. Published in honor of the New York City subway's centennial; The City Beneath Us will fascinate anyone who's ever been amazed by the gigantic undertaking that is New York City transportation. 175 duotone and 40 black-and-white photographs.

Review
4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. An in-depth look into an obscure topicBy A CustomerJames W. Silver does an excellent job of covering confederate morale and the surrounding influences upon it. Silver depicts in intricate detail how the South was turned against the North during the Civil War. The book also makes a compelling case that the church was the leading factor in shaping Southerners' views. This is the only book that provides an interesting look into Confederate propaganda.
