Riordon immortalized Plunkitt's banter and bluster by reorganizing the raconteur's impromptu speeches, conversations, and interviews into discourses published first in New York newspapers and later in this book. Here, for the first time, Kevin W. Hula and Douglas B. Harris present a fully annotated edition of Riordon's work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA new introductory chapter and introductions for each of Plunkitt's discourses highlight the book's place in American political history and the machine era in which Plunkitt lived. Plunkitt describes Tammany's operations, how machine politicians profited, and his views on why political reformers were curses on America. This annotated edition of \u003ci\u003ePlunkitt of Tammany Hall\u003c\/i\u003e makes the classic political tale accessible for a new generation of readers, students of politics, and scholars of the progressive era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKevin W.
