　　New York City, in 1776, lay at the end of ManhattanIsland, in shape somewhat like an arrowhead, with itspoint turned towards the sea and its barbsextended at uneven lengths along the East andHudson rivers. It occupied no more space than isnow included within the five lower and smallest of itstwenty-four wards. Excepting a limited district laidout on the east side, in part as far as Grand street, the entire town stood below the line of thepresent Chambers street, and covered an area less than one mile square. Then, as now,Broadway was its principal thoroughfare. Shaded with rows of trees, and lined mainly withresidences, churches, and public-houses, it stretched something more than a mile to thegrounds of the old City Hospital, near Duane street. Its starting-point was the Battery at theend of the island, but not the Battery of to-day; for, under the system of "harborencroachments," the latter has more than trebled in size, and is changed both in its shape andits uses. The city defenses at that time occupied the site. Here at the foot of Broadway oldFort George had been erected upon the base of the older Fort Amsterdam, to guard theentrance to the rivers, and with its outworks was the only protection against an attack by sea.It was a square bastioned affair, with walls of stone, each face eighty feet in length, and within itstood magazines, barracks, and, until destroyed by fire, the mansion of the colonial governors.For additional security, about the time of the French war, an extensive stone battery, withmerlons of cedar joists, had been built just below the fort along the water's edge, enclosing thepoint from river to river, and pierced for ninety-one pieces of cannon.
