Original Quote: “In 1893, the city’s star rat catcher was Frederick Wegner, who arrived from Bavaria and made his name, first, by ridding Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and then Greenwood Cemetery of rats. When there was a rat infestation in the Central Park Zoo—the rumor was that the elephants had been attacked by rats—he was immediately called in and caught 475 rats in his first week; he used traps because the zookeeper was worried about poison around elephants.”

Original Quote: “Though no deed of sale exists, the event is generally accepted as having taken place. In a 1626 letter, a Dutch merchant reported he has just heard, from ship passengers newly disembarked from New Netherland, that representatives of the West India Company had ‘purchased the Island Manhattes from the Indians for the value of 60 guilders.’ In 1846, using then current exchange rates, a New York historian converted this figure into twenty-four U.S. dollars.”

Burrows, E. G. & Wallace, M. (1999). Gotham: A history of New York City to 1898. New York: Oxford University Press.

Rosenzweig, R. & Blackmar, E. (1982). The park and the people: a history of Central Park. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press.
