Child Toilers of Boston Streets is a non-fiction book written by Emma E. Brown and published in 1879. The book provides a detailed account of the lives of children who worked on the streets of Boston during the late 19th century. Brown describes the harsh realities faced by these children, including poverty, hunger, and exploitation. She also sheds light on the dangerous and often illegal work they were forced to do, such as selling newspapers, shining shoes, and begging.Through interviews with the children themselves, Brown gives voice to their experiences and perspectives. She also provides statistical data and historical context to help readers understand the broader social and economic forces at play. The book is a powerful indictment of the child labor practices of the time, and a call to action for reform.Overall, Child Toilers of Boston Streets is a compelling and insightful work that sheds light on a little-known aspect of American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, child welfare, or the history of labor in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
