You might be interested in this account of Herman Melville's time on Staten Island where his brother Thomas was Governor of the old sailor's home at Snug Harbor and how this period in his life influenced the creation of Moby Dick. It's from an art piece that mixes fact and fiction called "The Forgotten History of Staten Island." http://fhsi.wordpress.com/tag/herman-melville/
