Modern historians like Fehrenbach, Crisp and others have endeavored to write history in the context of how the events really happened, coming to their own conclusions as to how these events occurred, and avoiding ...

Book Review – New York Exposed: The Gilded Age Scandal that

New York City in the late 19th-century has been shown through scholarly research and historical investigation to be a den of vice, with police-sanctioned brothels and unchecked political graft taking place on a large, systemic level.

Christine Stansell begins her article with a CAS agent narration that stumbles on two children who are collecting pieces of firewood to take back home to their parent to enable them to stay warm.

The reasons behind persisting health disparities across socioeconomic class in America are not fully understood. A 1.2:4.0 mortality rate ratio exists among people in the lowest socioeconomic class and those in the highest socioeconomic class (Cohen, Farley, & Mason, 2003).

The neighborhood of Brooklyn is where both my family and I reside.
