We received a bounty of privately held documents, family photo albums and even previously unknown collections of glass negatives. Local institutions opened their archives and made available rare images of the neighborhood that are at long last seeing the light. We commissioned the American Museum of Natural History to photograph a locally discovered mastodon specimen in their collection, which is being published here for the very first time. It was an exciting process of discovery, one that brought the whole neighborhood together.” Formerly a professional woodwind player, co-author Don Rice has been a music preparation professional on Broadway for over 25 years. He’s worked on his share of hits, with a few high points being Beauty and the Beast, The Producers, Wicked, Jersey Boys and Frozen.
