Low Life provides an arresting and entertaining view of what New York was actually like in its salad days. A portrait of America's greatest city, the riotous and anarchic breeding ground of modernity. 


NO REGISTRATION NECESSARY


Low Life voyages through Manhattan from four different directions. Manhattan's topography from 1840 to 1919; The era's opportunities for vice and entertainment--theaters and saloons, opium and cocaine dens, gambling and prostitution; The forces of law and order which did and didn't work to contain the illegalities; The city's tides of revolt and idealism against the city as it actually was.
