This book examines how the shifts in the early 19th century in New
York City affected children in particular. Indeed, one could argue
that within this context, that "children" and "childhood" came into
being. In order to explore this, the skeletal remains of the
children buried at the small, local, yet politically radical Spring
Street Presbyterian Church are detailed. Population level analyses
are combined with individual biological profiles from sorted
burials and individual stories combed from burial records and
archival data. What emerges are life histories of children-of
infants, toddlers, younger children, older children, and
adolescents-during this time of transition in New York City. When
combined with historical data, these life histories, for instance,
tell us about what it was like to grow up in this changing time in
New York City
