Gotham History Blotter Reading and Book Signing
Gotham Center for NYC History/CUNY 365 Fifth Avenue @ 34th St Ninth Floor

The Gotham Center recently introduced a new section on our website – The Gotham History Blotter. The Center invites writers, historians, essayists and others to contribute short non-fiction essays about New York City history – recent submissions have addressed everything from changes in Harlem to an infamous 19th century murder trial. Our goal is for readers to learn something new about the city and its past. Please join several recent contributors including Morton Zachter, author of the award-winning Dough: A Memoir, Harold Schechter, author of The Devil’s Gentleman: Privilege, Poison and the Trial that Ushered in the Twentieth Century and Benjamin Feldman, author of Butchery on Bond Street: Sexual Politics and the Burdell-Cunningham Case in Antebellum New York for a talk and book signing.
