Bowery Life (1904) - Chuck Connors - Bog

Bowery Life is a non-fiction book written by Chuck Connors and first published in 1904. The book provides a vivid and gritty account of life in New York City's Bowery district during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Bowery was known for its saloons, cheap lodging houses, and dime museums, and was home to a mix of immigrants, criminals, and destitute individuals. In Bowery Life, Connors recounts his own experiences living and working in the Bowery, as well as interviews with other residents and observations of the daily life and struggles of the neighborhood. The book covers a range of topics, including poverty, crime, prostitution, alcoholism, and police corruption. Despite its bleak subject matter, Bowery Life is also a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into a specific time and place in American history. The book is written in a straightforward and unvarnished style, with a focus on realism rather than sentimentality. Bowery Life remains a classic of urban literature and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
