Long associated with skid row, saloons, freak shows, violence, and vice, the Bowery often showed the worst New York City had to offer. Yet there were times when it showed its best as well. The Bowery is New York's oldest street and Manhattan's broadest boulevard. Like the city itself, it has continually reinvented itself over the centuries. Named for the Dutch farms, or bouweries, of the area, the path's lurid character was established early when it became the site of New Amsterdam's first murder. A natural spring near the Five Points neighborhood led to breweries and taverns that became home to the gangs of New York-the "Bowery B'hoys," "Plug Uglies," and "Dead Rabbits." In the Gaslight Era, teenaged streetwalkers swallowed poison in McGurk's Suicide Hall. A brighter side to the street was reflected in places of amusement and culture over the years. A young P. T. Barnum got his start there, and Harry Houdini learned showmanship playing the music halls and dime museums. Poets, singers, hobos, gangsters, soldiers, travelers, preachers, storytellers, con-men, and reformers all gathered there. Its colorful cast of characters includes Peter Stuyvesant, Steve Brodie, Carry Nation, Stephen Foster, Stephen Crane, and even Abraham Lincoln. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Historic sites|zNew York (State)|zNew York. 650 0 Street addresses|zNew York (State)|zNew York. 651 0 Bowery (New York, N.Y. : Street)|xHistory. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|xHistory. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|xSocial life and customs. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|xSocial conditions. 651 0 New York (N.Y.)|vBiography. 700 1 Henning, Daniel. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14116971?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781666129076_180.jpeg
