Description

Thompson Street spans over 100 years, from 1850 to the end of the Korean War. This book takes you back in time to experience the history and customs of a tumultuous era, presenting a colorful picture gallery of real-life portraits of events and people. You'll be transported to significant moments in history, including World War I at Messines Ridge and Chateau Thierrey, the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, and the Great Depression. The book also explores patriotism during World War II and delves into the lives of fascinating characters from gangsters to picaresque children who lived on the streets of New York. Through a kaleidoscope of characters, Mr Cutro presents a unique perspective on this period in history, weaving together encounters that might otherwise seem chaotic into a meaningful narrative.
