THE FIRST WARD saga continues in the turn of the century story of
infamous millionaire saloon-boss Fingy Conners and The Sullivan
Brothers. Deprived of the very enterprise that made his vast
fortune after his loss to laborers in the scooper's strike of 1899,
Fingy Conners sets out on a path of retribution: scorched-earth
revenge on the entire city of Buffalo by way of destroying its
economy. Fingy schemes to control the entirety of the grain
shipping and milling trade and moving it out of the country to
Montreal, where he enjoys dual citizenship. However, Alderman John
P. Sullivan has an ace up his sleeve. Based on actual events and
the real people who drove them, The First Ward II documents the
rivalry between dock-walloper turned wealthy politician Fingy
Conners and two brothers who emerged from the Buffalo Orphan Asylum
to claim political power: Alderman John P. Sullivan and Detective
Sergeant James E. Sullivan. Their lives intersect with the giants
of their day; cousin John L. Sullivan, humorist Mark Twain,
Presidents William McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt, publisher William
Randolph Hearst, and the Rainbow City: the 1901 Pan American
Exposition.
