| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Of the 108 National Historic Landmarks in New York City alone, eight of them have been designated National Monuments. A Presidential birthplace, an ancient burial ground and an island for political figureheads are all on this elite list. This book looks at the places in Manhattan that are considered National Monuments and who that designation is determined. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
