On Immigrant Life in New York City
Ernst, Robert. Immigrant Life in New York City, 1825-1863. Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 1994. pp. 331. Paperback.
Snooze-fest and superficial treatment of immigrants in Manhattan between the opening of the Erie Canal and the New York City Draft Riots. It might be useful for those who know absolutely nothing about the period at hand, but anyone with even surface-level knowledge will be better off reading something else.
