OUR STATEN ISLAND was the working and eventual title of this book - and appropriately so. Being fourth-generation-born Staten Islanders, my brother and I had a special sense of being native early on. Our family laid down the bare roots that made us realize that our story here began, in what seemed to us "olden times." Along with their stories was a simple book of our grandfather's relating the history of Staten Island. Its photos - many of ancient structures from the 1700's - were powerful images that made "the old" come to life. They gave us an idea of how our family's lives fit into the context of times and events on a still rural Island. Once we latched on to our budding interest in history, we never let go, and it eventually demanded that we follow through; not only to learn the history of our family, but of Staten Island as well. Unwittingly, the journey began by collecting newspaper stories and images over time. Eventually we made our way to the reference section of our libraries and museum archives where we came to know who the really good borough historians were, and their works. Eventually we gave motion to what we had learned and collected over the years by taking this legacy "on the road" - by car and eventually on foot - to visit the subject matter "in person." We created our own tours and saw a certain value in walking the old native Indian trails that became the Island's first roads, so they could fully speak their history to us. In doing so, we literally covered hundreds of miles paying homage to the place we live and love! This passionate pursuit, in retrospect, became an excellent journey that needed to be shared. No other writer has offered up a history of Staten Island in this unique way of taking the reader on that journey of discovery to experience it just as we did: through woods, along old roads; through centuries of change, people and events along the way as we learned the history of "Our Staten Island."

My first books about Staten Island were lighthearted looks at many fond memories. Even though we tend to put the bad memories in the back of our minds, as well we should, they are still there. They are part of our history, good or bad. With all the wondrous tales of Old Staten Island come more then a few terrible tales of dark days in our history. As I researched our island's past, I was amazed at how many tragedies actually occurred through the years. Come join me and read about some of 'Staten Island's Darker Days'.

If you have any connection to Staten Island, be it past or present, if you have family or friends that have moved away and miss our Old Staten Island, this book is for you. With over 350 questions and answers about our islands past, it will be great sharing it with all who still live on Staten Island and all the expatriates. In the nine years since I started my 'Old Staten Island' website (www.statenislandhistory.com), I have been asked many questions about our islands past. With all the research I have done for my first four books and the start of my new facebook page about Staten Island memories came a plethora of answers to those questions. A few visitors to my facebook page brought up the idea of a trivia book on Staten Island which led to this book. I have to thank all the visitors to the facebook page and to my website for the many questions and suggestions which helped this publication along to fruition. I need to express my gratitude to Dan Blaine. He kindly consented to the use of his many questions from a blog he started in 1995. His site was called SI NosTrivia Forum, he would come up with a series of questions about people, places and events from Staten Island's past and people would try to answer them. Not only did I have a blast putting this book together, but the knowledge I gained about our island was priceless. Hopefully the answers to the questions are all accurate. I tried my best to research the answers and many times I reached out to get help with the answers. Here's hoping you enjoy this book as much as I have in putting it together.
