Tales of Gaslight New York

By Frank Oppel (Editor)

Turn-of-the-century, illustrated articles from Harper's magazine form the text of this exciting look back at early New York City. Articles from 1898-1907 depict immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, finding their places among the neighborhoods, the construction of the city, social life, and life on the streets. A fascinating read for those who love history or simply enjoy experiencing everyday life during this epoch-making juncture in our nation's history.
