My Arrival to (and Early Life in) New York City

This book is about my early beginnings in New York City.  It talks about the people I met, the challenges I faced, and the difficulty I had establishing myself in this place.  I thought I was going to take the city by storm, but it seems to have swept me away instead.  Though I try to understand my mind at the time, I can only come as close as my recollection of it.  The real story is told by the letters and journals I wrote at that time.  Alas, this serves as simply a snapshot description of that experience.
