Meanwhile\, they lived among men of prominence and success in politics\, business\, law\, and the arts. Lucas Rubin has explored their intertwined lives in his 2012 book\, Brooklyn’s Sportsmen’s Row: Politics\, Society\, and the Sporting Life on Northern Eighth Avenue. And in fact\, much of Rubin’s research was done in Green-Wood’s fruitful archives. \nNow\, Rubin offers something of a final chapter\, a “where are they now?” of these early Brooklyn residents. Just as their lives came together in fascinating ways\, death brought many together again – right here in Green-Wood. \nThis talk will take a closer look at some of the book’s more peripheral characters – and some of Eighth Avenue’s most renowned denizens. After the talk\, hop on the trolley for a tour of related Green-Wood sites. \nThis event has two parts\, with separate tickets for each part: \n\nThe free book talk/presentation in the historic Green-Wood chapel\, ending with a book signing.\nA guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $10 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $15 for non-members.\n\n \nSeating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour\, and reservations are recommended. \n(Inclement Weather Policy) \n\nThis event is presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Historical Society \nNot a Member?\nGet a free ticket with a membership at left and purchase additional Member Discount Tickets if desired.
