This book captures the lives of four friends who meet by chance in a hotel, and establish a social club dedicated to investigating the mysterious "Elephant Club."

Along with the outlandish tales of their unusual mishaps are commentaries on 1850s New York culture including references to urban life, popular culture, the sporting scene, and the theatre. The book provides a unique and sprawling look at the society of the time, through the lens of four young men eager to experience the city in its entirety.
