The Man Who Rode the Tiger is the dramatic story of the biggest
investigation of political corruption in American municipal
history. The "Seabury Investigation" became a model for federal,
state, and city investigations of major officeholders and minor
rascals. Samuel Seabury was a patrician New Yorker who was called
upon to ride the Tammany Tiger, longtime symbol of crooked politics
and influence-peddling. Seabury and his staff of tough young
lawyers toppled Mayor Jimmy Walker - the popular Beau James; struck
a near-death blow to Tammany Hall; were directly responsible for
selecting and electing Fiorello H. LaGuardia as the most popular
Mayor in New York history; and helped Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt in his campaign for the presidency of the United States.
The final confrontation between Judge Seabury and Jimmy Walker was
before Governor Roosevelt in Albany. FDR surprised those who
thought he was a lightweight - and Tammany instrument - by handling
himself beautifully, disengaging himself from Tammany's grip, and
gaining national attention.
