Description:"Charming and corrupt, Croker manipulates all within his sphere, becoming one of the city's most influential citizens of the late nineteenth century. Boss Croker also captures the drama of Croker's later years: his move to Dublin, where he reconstructs Glencairn in Sandyford, winning the 1907 English Derby with Orby, the first Irish horse to do so; his support for rebellion in Ireland through contacts with Clan na Gael and Michael Collins. In 1914, after the death of his wife, heiress Elizabeth Fraser, he marries Bula Edmondson, a beautiful young Cherokee Indian, in the teeth of opposition from his children.
