Breen first saw New York from the deck of a brick barge -slled the "Cavalier." He loved it hen, as he was to love it all his ;fe because it challenged him. To him, it meant a place to dream ?reat dreams and see them through to final accomplishment. The instinct in-stinct to dream and to accomplish was very deep in this boy born on the East River. The dreams he had inhrited from Gilbert Van Horn, his father, and the only so of an old and distinguished New York family. The vitality to make his dreams come true came from a strain of common stock. John's mother had been a servant in the Van Horn mansion on Park Avenue. When she had to leave it. she had married mar-ried Tom Breen, the captain of the "Cavalier." John was sixteen years old an the foggy night when it collided with another barge and sank near Brooklyn Bridge. He was the only one apoard it to reach the shore. Plunged headlong into the colorful color-ful turmoil of the city, he began a career of fighting and accomplishment accomplish-ment which led him through the slums of the Ghetto, up Fifth Avenue Ave-nue to Harlem, to the luxury of Park Avenue and back again to the slums. Throughout the story, the I'fe of the growing city is traced through the lives of the men and women whose lives touched his. |
