Acclaimed author Luc Sante’s meticulously researched account of the creation of the upstate reservoir system that, in supplying water to New York City, makes its very existence possible―but irreparably altered rural ecosystems and communitiesBy the author of Low Life, the now-classic history of NYC’s outlaw underbelly―a meticulously researched, evocatively illustrated, profoundly meditative account of the city’s upstate reservoirsWithout the upstate reservoir system that brings fresh water to New York City, the city would have faded into insignificance.
