This book examines how the shifts in the early 19th century in New York City affected children in particular. Indeed, one could argue that within this context, that children and childhood came into being.

In order to explore this, the skeletal remains of the children buried at the small, local, yet politically radical Spring Street Presbyterian Church are detailed. Population level analyses are combined with individual biological profiles from sorted burials and individual stories combed from burial records and archival data.
