Excerpt from "Private Joe" Fifer: Memories of War and Peace Imparted in His Ninety-Sixth Year by Joseph W. Fifer at the Request of the Chicago Tribune and Recorded by James O'donnell Bennett The first Governor of Illinois to be elected after my arrival was Joseph W. Fifer. I recall vividly people saying, What a pity it is that he will not live out his term. For he had been seriously wounded - almost mortally - in the siege of Vicks burg. And now surviving all his contemporaries, he is as alert mentally as anyone I know. I have often heard it said that the best guaranty of old age was to be an invalid when young, and then guard that invalidism throughout life. I had never heard that to be shot almost to pieces came within this principle. And yet Governor Fifer is a living proof that there may be something in the theory. I have visited Governor Fifer at his home in Bloomington once or twice a year for many years. To me it is always a de lightful and an inspiring experience. Most men of advanced age live in the past, inclined to be indifferent to passing events. Not so with the Governor. He is as keen about current affairs as he ever was. He is abreast of the best thought of the day. He is as concerned about the proper solution of public ques tions of the moment as he ever was in the past. Governor Fifer can give from personal experience a more accurate account of the important events of the last three quarters of a century than any other man of whom I know. He has played a not inconspicuous part in those events. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“A tour de force of storytelling.” —Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Chief Inspector Gamache series “Jobb’s excellent storytelling makes the book a pleasure to read.” —The New York Times Book Review ”When a doctor does go wrong he is the first of criminals,” Sherlock Holmes observed during one of his most baffling investigations. “He has nerve and he has knowledge.” In the span of fifteen years, Dr. Thomas Neill Cream murdered as many as ten people in the United States, Britain, and Canada, a death toll with almost no precedent. Poison was his weapon of choice. Largely forgotten today, this villain was as brazen as the notorious Jack the Ripper. Structured around the doctor’s London murder trial in 1892, when he was finally brought to justice, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream exposes the blind trust given to medical practitioners, as well as the flawed detection methods, bungled investigations, corrupt officials, and stifling morality of Victorian society that allowed Dr. Cream to prey on vulnerable and desperate women, many of whom had turned to him for medical help. Dean Jobb transports readers to the late nineteenth century as Scotland Yard traces Dr. Cream’s life through Canada and Chicago and finally to London, where new investigative tools called forensics were just coming into use, even as most police departments still scoffed at using science to solve crimes. But then, most investigators could hardly imagine that serial killers existed—the term was unknown. As the Chicago Tribune wrote, Dr. Cream’s crimes marked the emergence of a new breed of killer: one who operated without motive or remorse, who “murdered simply for the sake of murder.” For fans of Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City, all things Sherlock Holmes, or the podcast My Favorite Murder, The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream is an unforgettable true crime story from a master of the genre.

The Gambler King of Clark Street 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. Lindberg vividly paints the life of the Democratic kingmaker against the wider backdrop of nineteenth-century Chicago crime and politics. McDonald has long been cited in the published work of city historians, members of academia, and the press as the principal architect of a unified criminal enterprise that reached into the corridors of power in Chicago, Cook County, the state of Illinois, and ultimately the Oval Office. The Gambler King of Clark Street is both a major addition to Chicago’s historical literature and a revealing biography of a powerful and troubled man.
