The biographer of Lyndon Johnson and Robert Moses tells a Pulitzer Centennial audience how an early map of Moses's Northern State Parkway led him to discover how wealthy landowners had influenced the route to the detriment of small farms: "To this day I don’t know why I suddenly decided to find out those names, and to try to find any of the owners who were still alive, and to see if they had any stories to tell about the construction of the Northern State Parkway."
