Our Backdoor Neighbors (1917)

Our Backdoor Neighbors is a book written by Frank Chapman Pellett and published in 1917. The book is a collection of short stories that focus on the lives of people who live in the back alleys and tenements of New York City. The stories explore the struggles and challenges faced by these individuals, including poverty, crime, and social inequality. Pellett's writing style is descriptive and vivid, painting a picture of the gritty and sometimes brutal realities of life in the city's slums. The characters in the book are diverse, including immigrants, factory workers, and street vendors, each with their own unique story to tell. Despite the bleak subject matter, the book also contains moments of hope and resilience, as the characters find ways to overcome their hardships and support each other. Pellett's portrayal of working-class life in early 20th century New York provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
