Whitman’s Brooklyn

I stumbled across Whitman’s Brooklyn: A Virtual Visit circa 1850 [http://www.whitmansbrooklyn.org], a website of images of mid-19th-century Brooklyn. As best I can tell, this fascinating site is one person’s labor of love and not a project of any university, museum, or other institution. Still, it is rich with images and may have some very interesting and useful content for teaching Whitman or New York City history. Enjoy, everyone.
