Hot Time in the Old Town
I am reading Hot Time in the Old Town: The Great Heat Wave of 1896 and the Making of Theodore Roosevelt by Edward P. Kohn. It is about the heat wave that hit New York City in the summer of 1896 and killed 1,300 people. At the time Theodore Roosevelt was a New York City police commissioner, and was one of the few people who actually tried to help the residents of the city's tenements. The book also covers the presidential contest between William McKinley and Williams Jennings Bryan, which was taking place that summer.
