Book Description:
|
They came by boat from a starving land-and by the Underground Railroad from Southern chains-seeking refuge in a crowded, filthy corner of hell at the bottom of a great metropolis. But in the terrible July of 1863, the poor and desperate of Paradise Alley would face a new catastrophe-as flames from the war that was tearing America in two reached out to set their city on fire.
