Twice jailed while serving in office yet a champion of the people, builder of schools yet a shameless grafter, james michael curley was the stuff of legend long before his life became fiction in edwin o'Connor's classic novel. As mayor of Boston, as a United States congressman, as governor of massachusetts, curley rose from the slums of south Boston in a career extending from the progressive era of teddy roosevelt to the ascendancy of the kennedy sons.
