Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses Delivered Before the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York and Year Book for 1906-1907 The Connecticut Colonists were bold men that they thus determined alone, without waiting for their fellows, to attack the Pequots on their own ground. Even if we take Bancroft's estimate as correct, that the tribe could muster about 700 warriors, the odds were heavy against them, for they could send on the expedition only ninety men, and though the muskets Of the English were far more powerful weapons than the bows and arrows of the Indians, yet they learned that the Pequots had sixteen guns, and their bows and arrows were not to be despised. Gardiner, in his narrative, says that the arrow which had killed one of his men, had struck on the right side, the head sticking fast half through a rib on the left side, which I took out and cleaned it, and presumed to send it to the Bay, because they had said that the arrows of the Indians were of no force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from That's New York! These Irishmen did not care greatly about killing each other. The sound of a hearty smash against a ﬂaming thatch was happiness enough. Pistols were expensive and money was scarce, and since politics was the chief reason for fighting at all, the actual death of one's enemy was not considered essential. F re quently they contented themselves with the use of their fists. As for their effect on society at large, the Irishmen were not particularly bad. Their crime was burglary, simple burglary, and they Were not very good at it. In actual money, they did not cost the community very much. And in at least one respect they were praiseworthy. In the draft riots of the Civil War, two of the big gangs threw their lot with the police, and found vast delight in socking the heads of draft dodgers who showed inclination to resist when the police came after them. Toward the beginning of the century, the Italian immigration began. The newcomers were a little poorer than the Irish, who had been here for a time, and consequently there was an economic push against the Irish occupation of the lower East Side. The Italians crowded into that region, drove the Irish out, and started up their own gangs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women of New York, or Social Life in the Great City Young men and women who read this work will perceive everywhere in its pages the emptiness and folly of all social crime, and the necessity for increased vigilance lest they are tempted to their ruin. To the young men who are strangers to the city and the machinations of its degraded ones to entrap them, we say, You will herein see the precipice at your feet and more easily escape it. To the young women who come hither in search of employment or friends, though poverty press you down, though obscurity throw its mantle over you and though friends frown at you, you should set your face against the first step toward the deep depths herein depicted. Middle-aged persons, prominent members of, and leaders in, society, and others, who are the parents of promising sons and daughters, will herein find revelations the knowledge of which may be of inestimable value.
