Dr. Kniebocker was renowned throughout Staten Island for starting the highest phrenology practice south of Maine on the Eastern Seaboard. However, upon winning the Irish Sweepstakes in 1953, Dr. Kniebocker abandoned his medical practice to move to an undisclosed location and begin the grand enterprise that would sustain him until this day—the writing of his epic tome, The Forgotten History Of Staten Island.
It is with great pleasure that Rocky Hollow Press (in collaboration with The Council on the Arts & Humanities for Staten Island) invites you to read never before seen excerpts from The Forgotten History of Staten Island, which it believes is a literary classic sure to become a best-seller as soon as it is published.
Among the forgotten history uncovered by Dr.Kniebocker :
· Herman Melville’s short, but life changing, experience on Staten Island including an account of the Snug Harbor bus stop that inspired his greatest work.
· The saga of Charles Gustav Francis Maria Ignacio Heironymus Parnelli Hornblatt,(better known as "Parnelli Hornblatt") the brilliant young civil engineer who first introduced the sidewalk to Staten Island.
· The story of the founding of Stapleton as a religious community by Mr. Pops Staples (later of the Staple Singers)and his father Rev. Grandpops Staples.
· The victory over New Jersey in the Hero Sandwich Wars (or “the food patent riots”or “food fights”) as the Island’s heroism was described in Manhattan Newspapers.
