Beskrivning

This book shows how modern Brooklyn’s proud urban identity as an arts-friendly community originated in the mid nineteenth century. The Gilded Age saw Brooklyn’s Renaissance energies diluted by financial and political corruption, planning the Brooklyn Bridge and consolidation with New York City in 1898.
