The Great Riot of New York presents a fast-paced and chilling account of the protagonists and victims of the great riots that rocked New York City from 1712-1873. Using eyewitness testimonies by military authorities, policemen, and those involved, and extracting facts from available archives, pamphlets, and newspapers, Headley creates a gripping narrative of such uprisings as The Negro Riots of 1712-1741, The Doctors' Riots of 1788, and the four-day Draft Riots of 1863, among many others. Now restored to print, The Great Riots of New York remains the classic account of popular revolt.
