Lot 76


Published by Belford, Clark, Chicago, 1880. First Edition of this famously vindictive tell-all of the inner workings of the notorious the President Ulysses S. Grant era Whiskey Ring -- a conspiracy of whiskey distillers, distributors, and government officials to line pockets by depriving the government of tax revenue. Author and ex-con General John McDonald was the ringleader and eventual federal prisoner. Pardoned by Grant at the end of the Grant presidency, disgraced Gen McDonald rewarded his presidential benefactor with literary abuse. Self-serving memoirs in the wake of big Washington scandals?
