Gangs of New York

STORY PREFACE

Story Summary

From every corner,
as you glance about you in these dark retreats,
some figure crawls half-awakened...
Where dogs would howl to lie,
women, and men, and boys
slink off to sleep,
forcing the dislodged rats to move away
in quest of better lodgings.

Charles Dickens'
Observations About
New York City′s "Five Points" Neighborhood
1842
