I would highly suggest reading the book "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr (and
the sequel "Angel of Darkness"). The story of a hunt for a rather nasty
serial killer (fictional) in 1896 in New York City. Really gives you a good
feeling for what the major cities in this time period were like. I've
planned on running an adventure based on this book for a while, but I just
can't convince my pose to head back east... They all want to head for the
Maze... Of course there's always the City of Lost Angels... :)

Because I know someone will ask for it...
