Forwarded from: luvgran@gcnetmail.net "I just finished reading a book called "Banished Children of Eve" by Peter Quinn.  It is a historical fiction book on NYC during the period just before and during the Civil War Draft Riots of July 1863.  I" Quote from Don Mc Govern....  I agree.... I have read the book also and it gave me an insite as to how it was in NYC for my Irish ancestors.... They had lived in the Mott/Mulbury area of NYC and later moved to Brooklyn..  I highly recommend the book also....  Also, Gotham by Wallace is another book ... Quite lengthy but not all Irish but it does give the history and flavor of NYC.  I believe it is out in paperback now.... Only wished they had published it in 2 volumes...Make it easier to hold it while reading.;-) Pat Adams
