Synopsis
This New York City history chronicles the fall of the Tammany Hall political machine and centers on the the Seabury Commission, a state investigative body under then-governor Franklin Roosevelt, that investigated--and ended the career of--the powerful and popular Mayor Jimmy Walker. Mitgang, a veteran journalist, evokes the turbulent and colorful personalities of the Roaring Twenties and '30s and conveys a sense of old New York, while analyzing a turbulent political scene that involved much risk and whose changes ultimately had national significance.

Industry reviews
"Herbert Mitgang's chronicle of the Seabury investigation is probably the most entertaining book about an independent counsel anyone is likely to write. How Seabury broke open Tammany Hall corruption in the Prohibition-era administration of Mayor Jimmy Walker offers many parallels to more recent special prosecutors. But, as Mitgang's storybook title suggests, ONCE UPON A TIME IN NEW YORK is less a story of law and precedence than one of a New York past and passing, in a time when a snappy line and a well-cut sleeve counted for more than who paid the tailor."
Walton 

"Mr. Mitgang's slender volume reminds us of how compelling well-written history can be."
New York Observer - Terry Golway (01/10/2000)
