Sobre IBD

The Dead Rabbits were an Irish-American gang in Lower Manhattan during the 1800s. They often clashed with Nativist rival gangs like the Bowery Boys, who hated Irish Catholics, as well as the newly-landed immigrants who settled in Five Points area of New York. This book will take a look at the history of the street gang, as well as a few of the members of the Dead Rabbits Gang (like John Morrissey, Tommy Hadden, and Kit Burns). The book will also be going into the Dead Rabbits riot involvement, as the gang often took part in riots in the city - such as the Dead Rabbits riot of 1857, and the 1863 New York Draft Riots during the American Civil War. It is a fascinating time of history, filled with murder, protests, underground criminal activity, and clashes in the street.
