About This Item
This period novel about corruption is based on a play of the same name. It is a parody of corruption politics in the Reconstruction Era and is uncannily similar to today's headlines: Example: "A ring of lobbyists was the nearest approach to a gubernatorial board of governors. The Governor, with his shrewdness, could not close his eyes to the greed and lawlessness of these fellows....He was not there to detect thievery but to make it profitable to himself."
