The Dark Side of New York Five Points Told by Stranger
A New York City letter writer describes the Five Points district as dark and dangerous. He details immigrant crowds from Italy and Naples near lower Manhattan, the street life, poverty, crime, beggars, and saloons, and notes the racial mix with Italians Chinese and others. He observes poverty, alcohol, disease, and tension between communities while lamenting the city’s social underbelly and its sprawling immigrant quarters.
