Presenter: Robert Pigott, Esq., Author
Destination City presents surprising stories surrounding historical figures, not usually associated with New York City, but who spent key portions of their lives here. Vignettes recount incidents in the lives of hundreds of notable people, including writers, artists, actors, activists, politicians, revolutionaries, scientists, and more. Some of them received ticker-tape parades while others arrived penniless. But all of them were marked by their time in New York City.
Join us and listen to the stories of some of New York City’s most surprising visitors.
Copies of Destination City may be purchased directly from Columbia University Press online at CUP.columbia.edu for a 20% discount. Use Code CUP20. Mr. Pigott will gladly sign all copies of his book on June 17.
