This volume presents the candid wit and wisdom of George Washington Plunkitt (18421924), a longtime New York City ward boss and Tammany Hall player. Plunkitt, a cynically honest practitioner of machine politics, reveals the secrets to the political success of Tammany Hall operatives, freely discussing his patronage-based appointments and exercise of power for personal gain.

AUTHORS: George Washington Plunkitt (18421924) was an American politician from New York State. He served in both houses of the New York State Legislature and was a member of the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City.

William L. Riordon (18611909) was a reporter for the New York Evening Post. His conversations with George Washington Plunkitt, which make up Plunkitt of Tammany Hall, were recorded over a half-dozen years at the turn of the 20th century.
