 Historian, Michael Miscione: Myths, Urban Legends and References for Real-Estate Pitches

Did the Dutch really buy Manhattan Island for $24?  Were the winged Moonmen that made headlines in the New York Sun in 1835 for real?  Are there really alligators in New York City’s sewers? Since colonial days Gotham has been an incubator for great myths, hoaxes, and urban legends. Michael Miscione will separate fact from fiction in this illustrated presentation.
