Just imagine surviving these temps in August 1896 in a NYC tenement? Small rooms cramped with a half dozen or more others, sleeping on roofs or fire escapes, no electricity or air, wool clothing...no running water...yikes!

Over five hundred horses died during the heat wave of 1896...imagine disposing of them and that stench...Some 1500 people perished from heat stroke in NYC. Some days, you just feel lucky!
