HART ISLAND POTTER'S FIELD
1872-75 LEDGER 'VIRTUAL TOUR'
A new web presentation has been added
to the www.correctionhistory.org site: a research paper ("A
Virtual Tour of the Oldest Known NYC Hart Island Potter's Field Burial
Register") delivered, with PowerPoint slides, during the 35th Conference on New
York State History, Marist College, Poughkeepsie, mid-June, 2014. Four format
versions are made available: PPT, PDF, DOC and DOCX.
The presentation points to some
fascinating issues of race, gender. religion and national origin which
study of the ledger entries reveals.
