"The History of Tammany Hall" by Gustavus Myers is a journey through the past that exposes the vibrant, and often corrupt story of Tammany Hall, New York City's powerful political machine. Starting with its beginnings in 1789, the book shows how the society transformed from a group that supported equality, against the rich and powerful, into a political organization that had a strong hold in the city. The book looks at the conflicts between political groups, the importance of people like Aaron Burr, and ceremonial traditions of the society.
