A top-notch eBay seller! Item was exactly as pictured and described by seller, used but in 'good' condition. I would say item was really in 'like new' condition. Seller packed item with great care, thoroughly bubble-wrapped and in layers of secure packaging. SUPER FAST SHIPPING. Would absolutely purchase from this seller again. So very grateful for this seller's honesty and integrity. A wonderful experience. Thank you!

Read of the ferocious duels between the New York City Police Department and the riots. Read as some of the most unique sets of characters ever to manifest themselves in the world appear, and come alive right before your very eyes. The book is written in a style of stories. One after another, they continue for pages. Read about a female bartender who butt unruly crowds with her head like a goat. Also read about the North's true opinion on the Civil War, and on Africans.

  • A little unknown corner of US history packed into a powerful read

    I became interested in the book in which the movie was written. The author gives me an insight on the human nature and needs that caused these gangs to originate.
