Excerpt from Negro Life in New York's Harlem: A Lively Picture of a Popular and Interesting SectionThe tenement houses in this vicinity are dark ened dungheaps, festering with poverty-stricken and crime-ridden stepchildren of nature. This is the edge of Harlem's slum district, Fifth Avenue is its board-walk. Push carts line the curbstone, dirty push carts manned by dirtier hucksters, selling fly-specked vegetables and other cheap commodities. Evil faces leer at you from doorways and windows. Brutish men elbow you out of their way, dreary. Looking women scowl at and curse children playing on the sidewalk. That is Harlem's Fifth Avenue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
