McDonald and the Rise of Chicago's Democratic Machine tells the story of a larger-than-life figure who fused Chicago's criminal underworld with the city's political and commercial spheres to create an urban machine built on graft, bribery, and intimidation. In this first ever biography of McDonald, author Richard C. Lindberg vividly paints the life of the Democratic kingmaker against the wider backdrop of nineteenth-century Chicago crime and politics. Twenty-five years before Al Capone's birth, Michael McDonald was born. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 McDonald, Michael C.|q(Michael Cassius),|d1839-1907. 600 10 McDonald, Michael Cassius,|d1839-1907. 600 17 McDonald, Michael C.|q(Michael Cassius),|d1839-1907.|2fast /nic/nac 610 20 Democratic Party (Chicago, Ill.)|xHistory|y19th century. 610 20 Democratic Party (Chicago, Ill.) 610 27 Democratic Party (Chicago, Ill.)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01780513 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 0 Politicians|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Businessmen|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Gamblers|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Irish American criminals|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Political culture|zIllinois|zChicago|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Political corruption|zIllinois|zChicago|xHistory|y19th century. 650 7 HISTORY|xState & Local.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|xState & Local|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Businessmen.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00842951 650 7 Gamblers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00937365 650 7 Irish American criminals.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00978926 650 7 Political corruption.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069240 650 7 Political culture.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 Political science.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069781 650 7 Politicians.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069915 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|vBiography. 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|xPolitics and government|y19th century. 651 7 Illinois|zChicago.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204048 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLindberg, Richard, 1953-|tGambler king of Clark Street.|dCarbondale : Southern Illinois University Press, ©2009|z9780809328932|w(DLC) 2008037830 |w(OCoLC)248536502 830 0 Elmer H.
