McGurk's Suicide Hall and One Hundred Years of Anguish

What this episode covers

Travel with us as we examine suicide in the nineteenth century and the first part of the twentieth century. Learn about "McGurks Suicide Hall" in the Bowery, in Manhattan, where suicide was so common it became public spectacle. Learn about "Eat em-up Jack McManus," and other Bowery denizens. I might as well warn you...this show is relentlessly depressing and dark!
