Synopsis
The Great Riots Of New York by Hon. J.T Headley is a comprehensive historical narrative describing the major urban disturbances that have shaped New York City. Headley argues that the fate of the city and, indeed, the nation's welfare rested on the ability of its police and public authorities to protect life and property during mob violence. The work surveys centuries of riots—from early Negro disturbances in 1712–1741, through the Stamp Act riots, Doctors' Riot, and 1830s election convulsions, to the Draft Riots of 1863 and the Orange riots of 1870–71—and the closing chapters on post-riot conditions. It blends documentary material, Preface commentary, and vivid scenes drawn from contemporary sources, including police records, military dispatches, and press reports. It emphasizes the roles of police, militia, and telegraphic networks in suppressing disturbances, and offers reflections on civic responsibility, public safety, and the political uses of popular tumult. The book remains a foundational account for readers interested in urban history, public order, and social change.
