I highly recommend "TIN HORNS AND CALICO" subtitled "A Decisive Episode in the Emergence of Democracy" by Henry Christman, originally published in 1945 and should be available in many librarys. Covers the anti-rent movement on both sides of the Hudson River and, at least to me, explains some of why New York is culturally and politically different from other parts of the northeast.
