Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-06 00:00:00 Andrew Haworth A general history of a place I spent my youth. As a bonus, I'm thanked in the preface.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-17 00:00:00 Helen Robinson 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.
