About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Night Side of New York by Various. Read by Grant Hurlock. This nonfiction collection of sketches, by "members of the New York press," takes the reader on a tour of 1866 New York City after dark, with stops along the way to vividly depict scenes ranging from the splendid to the squalid - but focusing largely on the latter!
