I bought this book since my great-great grandfather, Hiram Chandler, was a New York City policeman during the Civil War riots in New York City. This is a great read, and very interesting.

I really enjoy what I call micro history. New York and New York City can be correctly viewed as crucibles for much of United States history.

Thank heavens for independent scholars! Barnet Schecter is rapidly becoming one of the best chroniclers of New York's history.
