Summary: "A History of the City of Brooklyn and Kings County, Volume II" by Stephen M. Ostrander is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the development of Brooklyn and Kings County, exploring significant events and their impacts from the post-Revolutionary period up to the mid-19th century. Topics likely covered include the evolution of local governance, societal changes during pivotal moments like the War of 1812, as well as notable efforts to honor the sacrifices made during the American Revolution. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a thorough exploration of Brooklyn's transformation after the Revolutionary War, detailing the challenges faced by its citizens, including the effects of British occupation and the struggles for local governance. It recounts the resumption of town meetings, the establishment of community services such as fire departments and educational institutions, and the struggle to memorialize the victims of war. Further, it highlights Brooklyn's initiatives for economic recovery and civic organization during a time marked by political and social upheaval, revealing how these formative years laid the groundwork for Brooklyn's future growth as a city.
