This review is from: Our Firemen: The History of the New York Fire Departments from 1609 to 1887 (Hardcover)
Want to know how things were done in the olden days? This book is it. This is an incredeble deal on this title. BUY IT NOW. I have been looking for this book (original pub. date copy) for a long time, I can only find it for sale at an outrageous price (excess of $200). This is by far the best book ever on the New York Fire Department. This book has taught me so much about the history of FDNY, that it has helped me with my fire antique collection serch. THE BEST !!!!

This book has incredible detail and documentation of the early history of the New York City Fire Department. It was originally published in 1887 and has been republished in its exact original form. I highly recommend that every fire house should have at least one copy of this book in the office. Don: retired L10
