The County: The Dark Continent of American Politics is a book written by Henry Stimson Gilbertson and published in 1917. The book explores the political landscape of American counties during the early 20th century, with a focus on the corrupt and often secretive practices that characterized county politics. Gilbertson argues that the county system, which was designed to be a local and accessible form of government, had become a breeding ground for political machines and backroom deals. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various political players and power structures that operated within county governments, including the role of political bosses, party machines, and local interest groups. Gilbertson also examines the impact of county politics on larger state and national issues, such as the regulation of industries and the distribution of public resources. Overall, The County offers a critical and revealing look at the darker side of American politics, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of local government in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
