The Armies of The Streets: The New York City Draft Riots of 1863 - Joseph Annin shot by a rioters 2nd Avenue on Tuesday July 14, and died August 18.
Page 117: By Tuesday afternoon, the riot had taken the shape of class war. It was not safe for any well-dressed man to walk the streets…. Joseph Annin, a well-known lawyer from Jersey City, who happened to be in New York on business that day, was walking down Second Avenue, curious to see what was happening. At Thirty-sixth Street, he was stopped by a gang of rowdies. Annin made a dash for it, but was halted by a pistol shot from one of the gang. They left him lying on the sidewalk; some people in the neighbourhood carried him into a drugstore, and at 5:30 P.M. he was taken to Bellevue Hospital. Surgeons found it impossible to remove the bullet, and Annin died at his brother’s house in Brooklyn on August 18.
Son of John Annin from his 2nd marriage to Mary Cooper, widow of Joseph Cross, daughter of Benjamin Cooper.
