Synopsis

New York's Inferno Explored is a book written by Booth Ballington in 1891. It provides a detailed and powerful portrayal of the poverty, crime, and misery that existed in New York City during that time. The book delves into the squalid living conditions of the city's tenement buildings, which were overcrowded and rife with disease and crime. It also explores the devastating effects of vice and alcoholism on the city's inhabitants, particularly in the Siberian district. The scenes depicted in the book are full of pathos and provide a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by many of New York's residents at the time. Overall, New York's Inferno Explored is a sobering and eye-opening account of the social and economic conditions of New York City at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
