New York in Bondage is a gripping account of the New York City Draft Riots of 1863, during the Civil War, from the perspective of contemporary journalist John Drake Townsend.

This book sheds light on a dark time in American history and provides valuable historical context for understanding present-day racial tensions and civil unrest.
