Our Fight With Tammany is a historical non-fiction book written by Charles Henry Parkhurst and first published in 1895. The book details the author's personal experiences and observations during his fight against the corrupt political machine of Tammany Hall in New York City during the late 19th century. Parkhurst, a prominent Presbyterian minister, became involved in the reform movement after witnessing the rampant corruption and vice in the city. He began to speak out against Tammany Hall and its leaders, exposing their illegal activities and advocating for political reform. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the political climate of the time, including the inner workings of Tammany Hall, the corrupt practices of its leaders, and the efforts of reformers to bring about change. It also offers insights into the social and economic conditions of New York City during this period, including poverty, crime, and social inequality. Overall, Our Fight With Tammany is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in New York City's political history and the role of religious leaders in social and political reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
