SOURCES AND CREDITS

843 Acres is set in a real city, and nearly everything in it is real. The Croton Aqueduct is a brick tunnel a person can walk upright inside, and it really does end inside Central Park. The Bronx Zoo's bison really did restock the American west. Hart Island really has held the city's unclaimed dead since 1869.

What is invented is what happened to all of it, and the people who live there now.
