Missed Points About Five Points
William Stern provides a little more context for Scorcese's Gangs Of New York, and points out some critical factors that the director missed (not surprising, considering how ill informed he is about current affairs).
A fascinating read for those interested in American history, and particularly the history of the Irish in America. It's obvious once pointed out, but I'd never before considered the origin of the term "paddy wagon."
