Fair to good, fr flap only. 335, illus., footnotes, bibliography, appendix, index, boards and spine somewhat worn and soiled, discoloration inside rear hinge. Front DJ flap cut off and pasted inside front board. Introduction by Allan Nevins. This was the first full-length biography of the man whom Theodore Roosevelt called "New York's most useful citizen. " Perhaps no single person did as much to better the conditions of the city's slums and to provide parks for the destitute tenement dweller as did Jacob A. Riis. This work was written with the full cooperation of the Riis family. Riis and Theodore Roosevelt (when he was Governor of New York) developed a close working relationship.
