Fairfax McLaughlin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography chronicles the life of John Kelly, an influential New York politician known for his role in significant political movements, particularly during the Know-Nothingism era and Tammany Hall's history. The book aims to present a balanced portrayal of Kelly, highlighting his contributions as well as the challenges and controversies he faced during his political career. The opening portion of the narrative establishes John Kelly's prominence in American politics, framing him as a vital player in three critical epochs: the battle against Know-Nothingism, the internal conflicts of the Democratic Party, and the fight against the corrupt Tweed Ring within Tammany Hall. The introduction draws comparisons to other significant figures, such as Andrew Jackson, emphasizing Kelly’s strong character and public service. McLaughlin situates Kelly within the broader context of American political history, preparing readers for a detailed exploration of his early life, his ascent through various political challenges, and his ethos as a determined leader committed to civil liberties. The text further notes that Kelly’s legacy has been marred by misrepresentation, and the biography intends to clear such misconceptions by providing a comprehensive account of his life and achievements.
