Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Hot Time in the Old Time. One of the worst natural disasters in American history, the 1896 New York heat wave, killed almost 1,500 people over ten oppresively hot days. The city became a panorama of mear-medieval squalor: hundreds of horses dropped dead in the streets, overheated dogs were labeled 'mad' and gunned down, thousands of New Yorkers took to sleeping on the rooftops, and every night people fell to their deaths. But within summer's cauldron, another drama was unfolding - the pitched preseidential battle between William McKinley and the upstart Democrat William Jennings Vryan. Fresh from his vaunted 'Cross of Gold' speech, Bryan arrived in New York to accept the Democtratic nomination at the height of the disaster. In the meantime, a young police commissioner named Theodore Roosevelt was scrambling to procure ice for the poor, hose down the streets, and somehow mitigate the dangerously high temperatures. As the author shows, Bryan's hopes for the presidency began to flag amidst the abhorrent heat just as the bright young police commissioner was building his populist credentials. A vivid narrative that captures the birth of the progressive era, this book revives the forgotten disaster that changed the course of Gilded Age politics and transformed a great American city. 288 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
