The story of the Children of the City should clearly demonstrate to readers why this generation and their children had such wildly different values in regards to working; earning money; and attitudes towards authority.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful book!By VisaDivaExcellent account of late 19th century life of children. Newsies is my favorite musical and I wanted to know the real story behind it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Living history.By Richard E. MillerWell researched and written. The book resonated with me as I'm old enough to remember doing in the 1940's much of what the street urchins did 100 years ago. Loved the list of the rich and famous who shared similar stories and references to their biographies which sound like good reading as well.
