Writing two centuries of Tottenville history has been a journey of discovery—finding documents others overlooked, connecting local events to national movements, making the past accessible. The 17th and 18th Century volumes each tell complete stories of transformation.

I've poured years of research into the Tottenville History Comes Alive series, bringing 17th and 18th century Staten Island to life through stories of real families, Revolutionary War intrigue, and colonial transformation.
If you've read either book, would you consider leaving a review? Reader feedback makes a real difference.

@NationalGeographic @history-culture-NationalGeographic Unfortunately you need an account to read this article, but if you are (or will be) in the NYC area you can see an exhibit about the Black Angels at the Staten Island Museum.

The larger exhibit has closed, but much of it can still be seen in a smaller gallery. Or you can view the online version (link below) from anywhere.

Apart Together - Staten Island Museum

This exhibition examines the work, lives, and legacy of the "Black Angels," the mostly Black nursing staff at Sea View Hospital who played an important role in breaking racial barriers among the network of municipal hospitals treating tuberculosis during the mid-1900s. It is centered around the voice of Virginia Allen. Her recollections paint a vivid picture of life as a Black nurse in New York City's public hospital system in the mid-1900s.
