| description |
Cover page of <em>The killers: a narrative of real life in Philadelphia ...</em>by George Lippard. Lippard based this work and two closely related novels (<em>The bank director's son : a real and intensely interesting revelation of city life...</em>and <em>Life and Adventures of Charles Anderson Chester, The Notorious Leader of The Philadelphia “Killers”) </em>on Philadelphia’s many street gangs and the riots they provoked, especially the 1844 Anti-Catholic Riots in Kensington and Southwark. Philadelphia had its own version of <em>The Gangs of New York</em>, organized around fire companies and reveling in names like The Rats, The Bouncers, and The Skinners. |
