Observations of Life in Lower Manhattan at the Turn of the Century is a collection of articles, documentary sources, and study guides that were compiled to accompany a college-level course entitled, An Urban Experience: New York City’s Lower East Side, 1880-1920.
The materials provide an urban laboratory through which students can learn how people coped with, and sometimes prevailed over, the forces of industrialization, immigration, and urbanization.Stories or articles rang from The Foreign Immigrant in New York City to The Poor in Summer.
