But over the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, new technologies began to light up streets, sidewalks, buildings, and public spaces. Peter C. Baldwin's evocative book depicts the changing experience of the urban night over this period, visiting a host of actors, scavengers, newsboys, and mashers alike in the nocturnal city. Baldwin examines work, crime, transportation, and leisure as he moves through the gaslight era. 000438579 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438579 650_0 $$aNightlife$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000438579 650_0 $$aNight work$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000438579 650_0 $$aMunicipal lighting$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000438579 650_0 $$aCities and towns$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000438579 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438579 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBaldwin, Peter C., 1962-$$tIn the watches of the night.$$dChicago ; London : University of Chicago Press, c2012$$z9780226036021$$w(DLC) 2011027441$$w(OCoLC)711050916 000438579 8520_ $$bacq 000438579 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438579 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=803589$$zOnline Access 000438579 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438579$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438579 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438579 980__ $$aBIB 000438579 982__ $$aEbook 000438579 983__ $$aOnline
