reviewed Gotham Unbound: How New York City Was Liberated From the Grip of Organized Crime on September 29, 2016 Gotham Unbound
Very informative book about the lives of immigrant Jews in the Bronx (and Brooklyn and the Lower East Side) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I hadn't realized how many of them were young--unaccompanied teenagers, and even children. Although the writing style was uneven and at times too rambling for its own good, there's a lot of information and insight here.
