spread before him wa^
the great city.. he had
been around it many
times ... this 16-year-old boy — ignorant,
unschooled, but withalf a sturdy tugboat
barge hand... Each succeeding trip found
him gazing in grooving fascination toward
«
the piles of buildings banked upon the
shore. .. He noted and remembered many
things about the city ... the sharp metallic
clang of fire engines ... the clatter of
horses, iron-shod hoofs on Belgian blocks;
the harsh rattle of elevated trains .. and
how fast they went... would he ever ride
on one?... Where did life lead?
J
The answer was but a few hours away
... that turn of the wheel which tossed him
up amid surroundings as fearsome to him
as a primitive jungle might be ... life un
folding in such a rapid series of sequence
that his confused brain could scarce grasp
its meaning.
All of this tapped the well of a dormant
quality nr*Johnny Breen. He fought back
—he struck out boldly with his hard, brown
fists. ., and in this battle for food ... for a
bed , . . for knowledge . . . for knowledge
... for life itself, unfolds the thrilling story
of “FIRST LOVES.” ,
“FIRST LOVES” touches upon all phases
«
of life in that great melting pot of human
ity—New York . . . from the Bowery to
*
Park Avenue to Riverside Drive... It is a
graphic picture of the people, the hates,
the loves, the fears and the kindnesses of
*
city dwellers in all walks of life. It is from
the pen" of Felix Riesenberg, author of
“Endless River” and “Passing Strangers.”
This story, “FIRST LOVES,” is an embrac-
■ 1
ing stury of the formation of the greater,
city of New York — a story that will stir
your emotions — from beginning to end.
