New York in 1875 was a city of roughly a million people packed onto the narrow island of Manhattan, and a bird's-eye view of the period shows how completely its streets, slips and piers filled the space between the East and Hudson rivers. Ferries and steamers crowded both waterfronts, carrying freight and passengers to Brooklyn, New Jersey and points up the coast. Brownstone and brick houses lined the side streets of the uptown wards, while Fifth Avenue was becoming the address of choice for merchants and their families. Ordinary New Yorkers, many of them immigrants, made their living in the garment shops, printing houses and workshops of the older downtown districts, and they knew their city above all by its noise, its crowded tenements and the elevated trains rattling overhead.
