Step back into Albany, New York, at the height of the American Civil War, and walk its streets name by name. Every name carries a story. First published in 1862, The Albany Directory for the Year 1862 is a meticulous 19th century directory of the city's residents, tradespeople, civic leaders and institutions, capturing civil war era Albany at a single, vivid moment in time. Both a business and residential directory and a concise record of city government and its public bodies, it offers an unparalleled snapshot of 19th century Albany NY for anyone drawn to Albany city history and the everyday texture of the past. Genealogists, family historians and local history researchers will value this historic city directory as a primary genealogy research reference book for Albany NY genealogy, tracing households, occupations and neighbourhoods in Albany New York 1862 within the wider network of New York State directories. Scholars of urban studies and social history gain direct access to historic city government records and community institutions, while classic-reference collectors appreciate the authenticity and period detail of a work long unavailable in modern form. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
