"In this gossipy, name-filled and lavishly illustrated volume, Allen Churchill chronicles the families, fads, and fortunes that made New York, New York what it was. From the days of the English governors--one of whom used to wear his wife's dresses to underscore his resemblance to Queen Anne--New York's High Society has been an inexhaustible fount of glamour and fascination. Included in this impertinent potpourri are the mansions of Millionaire's Row (one, on the corner of Fifty-second Street, cost three million [1880s] dollars); the "Bouncers" and "Shoddies" who assaulted Gotham Society with cash as their sole weapon; the origin of "The Four Hundred", how Manhattan reacted to two Princes of Wales; The Bradley Martin Ball, which nearly started a riot; the Vanderbilt-Marlborough wedding which was denounced by the press, and much, much more. In every era, Churchill examines the awesome and often eccentric personalities that made Manhattan's blood run blue: James Cordon Bennett, who was horsewhipped by his fiancée's brother and had to leave the country; "Commodore" Vanderbilt, the first of the great dynasty founders; Caroline Astor (THE Mrs. Astor); the rapacious Jay Gould; Ward McAllister, whose decline from social grace brought the public's scorn down on an entire era of brittle, gilded life. Finally, Churchill examines the rush for the celebrity-ridden wilds of Café Society that "killed" High Society, and details some of its more astonishing death-throes. But even if Society is dead, this book--always informative, often hilarious, usually indiscreet, and illustrated with over two hundred old prints and photographs--should stand as its definitive epitaph."

Little Dog LOVED It
Item Shape: Ring, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 1)
These are very small but perfect for little dogs. My terrier mix is 17 lbs and got frightened by his bully stick hitting the floor several years ago. Since then he has refused to chew on every kind of chew I've bought him, despite using every method of convincing him they're safe. This turkey tendon ring was the FIRST chew he's been willing to chew! He was trembling through the first few nibbles and then devoured the whole thing within 20 mins. I could not be happier and will buy more when he finishes this bag.

Your dog will thank you

My dog is obsessed!! I don't even think obsessed is the right word, like she will take a turkey ring over going to the dog park! She has a sensitive stomach and I love that these turkey treats don't give her diarrhea or gas. I work from home so when I have an important meeting or something that requires my undivided attention, I give her one of these and it keeps her occupied for about 30 to 40 mins. They are a bit pricey but my little princess is worth it.

Puppies chew on, very good for teething. Older dogs will try to eat them whole.
