Down In Water Street is a book written by Samuel Hopkins Hadley in 1902. It is a sequel to the Life of Jerry McAuley and tells the story of sixteen years of life and work in the Water Street Mission. The book is a memoir that recounts the experiences of Hadley, who was a missionary and social worker in the Water Street Mission in New York City. The Water Street Mission was a place where people who were struggling with addiction, poverty, and homelessness could find food, shelter, and support. Hadley's book provides a detailed account of the challenges and successes of running the mission, as well as the stories of the people who came through its doors. The book also explores the broader social and economic issues of the time, such as the impact of industrialization and urbanization on working-class communities. Overall, Down In Water Street is a powerful and insightful portrait of life in one of the most challenging and dynamic neighborhoods in turn-of-the-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
