This product arrived on time and as expected.

I really enjoyed it and found the book to be a rather quick read but very entertaining and informative, using gritty, real-world recollections from men and women who experienced these things first hand.

Probably not a top choice for those with a lot of knowledge already regarding this time period, but as an introduction I can definitely recommend.

excellent
Loved reading about New York in the old days as mom and dad lived there and I am writing a book about them.
This book has both photos of the lower East Side at the turn of the 1900s and excerpts from original diaries.It presents the immigrant and work experience from the point of view of actual young people of the time. If you want a synopsis of this experience for yourself or for children and young adults, it's a good introduction.
SO TRUE
This time always interested me. Good book, great photographs.
Wonderful book full of photo's and stories... I am going to read parts of it to my 9 year old grandchild who lives in Brooklyn. As a collector of NYC historical stories and photo's, I found this to be well worth the price.
I needed to be reminded.
As we all do!
We are blessed in so many ways. Always remember, where we came from.
Pray everyday for our children's future.
