I just hate the way historians try to box people in. I have always regarded Brooklyn as the location of the original Garden of Eden, the site of the most ancient culture in human history, where the Creator breathed life into clay and formed Adam and Steve, the first people. There are a bunch of know it all historians, etc., who claim that this is not so, and produce all sorts of 'evidence' suggesting that Brooklyn is merely a NYC borough, and not that old. They'll not box me in, though. You can't study the Brooklynite.
