Coming of Age on the City Streets in Nineteenth-Century America.
Teeter, Ruskin
Adolescence, v23 n92 p909-12 Win 1988
Broken free of any semblance of family control or community restraints, thousands of American youth roamed entirely at will throughout the cities of 19th-century America and supported themselves alternately from the legitimate street trades and from outright thievery. The invention of modern adolescence was partially a response to this neglected condition of urban youth. (Author)
