Damnation Island : poor, sick, mad & criminal in 19th-century New York

CD Audiobook

Damnation Island : poor, sick, mad & criminal in 19th-century New York / by Stacy Horn.

Horn, Stacy, (author.) Ward, Pam, (narrator.)

Summary:

Today it is known as Roosevelt Island. In 1828, when New York City purchased this narrow, two-mile-long island in the East River, it was called Blackwell's Island. There, over the next hundred years, the city would build a lunatic asylum, prison, hospital, workhouse, and almshouse. Stacy Horn has crafted a compelling and chilling narrative told through the stories of the poor souls sent to Blackwell's, as well as the period's city officials, reformers, and journalists.
