"For $4,938, [Audubon] bought 14 acres of of picturesque woodland along the Hudson River in the area now known as Washington Heights... Thus began the humanization of the area's natural landscape, a process that would inexorably lead--with considerable irony--to the transformation of the renowned naturalist's beloved country holdings into a densely populated urban neighborhood of cheek-by-jowl apartment buildings. The story of the area's evolution from hinterland to suburb to city is comprehensively told in Matthew Spady's fluidly written new history, The Neighborhood Manhattan Forgot: Audubon Park and the Families Who Shaped It."
