Engs was very active as a fire fighter and he ebecame an elected official helping to provide healthcare, public education, and housing for the poor. With his headquarters in Manhattan he was able to play a big role in the early development of New York City.
It\'s likely his Baltimore whiskey was shipped to him from a Baltimore distillery......... #baltimorerye #baltimorehistory #baltimore #baltimorewhiskey #maryland #marylandwhiskey #marylandryewhiskey #marylandrye #manhattan #newyorkcity #nyc #whiskeyhistory #history #antiques #whiskey #antique #historic #whisky #rye #ryewhiskey #preprohibition #preprohibitionwhiskey #prohibition
