Here, along Sportsmen's Row, the lives of the sportsmen and those of their neighbors-men of prominence and distinction in theater, law, industry, and politics-came together in surprising and unexpected ways. Though the public saw a block dominated by the celebrities of the age, behind the closed doors of Sportsmen's Row a more subtle narrative played itself out: of infidelity, gambling, excess and, regardless of fame, a world strictly ordered and preordained by social class. This history offers a compelling portrait of this colorful corner of Gilded Age Brooklyn. Includes photos.
