Descrizione The Measure of Manhattan - The Tumultuous Career and Surprising Legacy of John Randel, Jr., Cartographer, Surveyor, Inve
John Randel Jr. (1787-1865) was an eccentric and flamboyant surveyor. Renowned for his inventiveness as well as for his bombast and irascibility, Randel was central to Manhattan's development but died in financial ruin. Telling Randel's engrossing and dramatic life story for the first time, this eye-opening biography introduces an unheralded pioneer of American engineering and mapmaking.
