Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biography of Fernando Wood: A History of the Forgeries, Perjuries, and Other Crimes of Our Model Mayor When a candidate in 1854, he sought interviews with many whom he had a right to suppose would Oppose him, as they knew much of his real character, and of the alleged frauds charged upon him.. He endeavored to persuade them that he had been unjustly accused; but when finding that he could make no impression on their minds in this direction, he then appealed to them for forgiveness, and solicited them to give him an opportunity to redeem his character through his election to the mayoralty. He stated, in some instances, that he sought this high position chiefly to remove, by his good conduct in official position, the deep prejudices that existed against him. This appeal induced some to support him, who otherwise would not have done so. When arrayed against a single Opponent, Wood was easily beaten, as was the case in 1850, when he was beaten by several thousand votes. But he saw in the mayoralty contest, in 1854, that there would be several candidates, and that if he could get the endorsement of the Democracy, or of the Seymour party, he could slip in by a plurality vote. He was right in his calcula tion. But what effort did he make to redeem his character after he was elected? His policy at first was to be bold, and seemingly honest, Napoleonic In the style of his public documents. But no sooner had he begun to get the good opinion of some who had Opposed his election, than he found it convenient, and to his interest, to take a stroll in the neighborhood of the sunken ship Joseph Walker, lying at the slip, foot of Dover Street, in which entombed craft he imagined he saw a second John W. Cater. The first draft he made on the city treasury, on account of this sunken treasure, was a contract with his friend Jones to raise her, for the snug little sum of He succeeded in getting a greater part of this amount out of the treasury, when the press got hold Of the matter, and further drafts on this account were dishonored. But his friend Jones got some seven or eight thousand dollars on this fraudulent contract. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Volume 3 "POLITICS and GOVERNMENT’ of the American Cities; series. This collection brings together more than 200 scholarly articles pertaining to the history and development of urban life in the United States during the past two centuries. The articles about municipal government contained in the third volume include discussions of how rapid urbanization in the early nineteenth century produced a chain reaction, creating first the need for new political institutions, then the rise of machine politics, and, finally, reform movements that designed, advocated, and implemented new institutional structures such as the commission and city manager forms of government. Volume 3 also includes articles that consider the nature of intergovernmental relations at the end of the twentieth century and the connections between the governments of cities and the governments of the regions surrounding them—localities, states, and the nation.
