"This sesquicentennial volume offers a concise history of the Club's first 150 years, from it's founding in 1871 by an eclectic group of former Union Club members through world wars, prohibition, two near death experiences and later prosperity, leading all the way to present-day, nearly post-pandemic New York. Throughout these events the Club uniformly has provided respite and good fellowship to a diverse group of members. We also include a number of essays by our fellow members, including appreciations of the Club's art collection"... -- Foreword. - Subject Terms:
