View down Stockton to Market on Sunday, April 22. Every phase of life was reduced to a primitive level. If proportional damage had been wreaked on New York City, all the island of Manhattan from the Battery to 125th Street, a few stray buildings excepted, would have been leveled. Actually, the destroyed area was equal to what lies within New York’s Fifth and Ninth avenues between Twenty-third and 103rd streets. (Bancroft Library)
