	Fergus Bordewich: Gangs of New York
		Poole developed an intense rivalry with an Irish prize fighter and gambler named John Morrissey, who would eventually go on through the kind patronage of Tammany Hall to become a state legislator and a member of the U.S. Congress.
		Morrissey was savagely beaten by Poole when the Irishman and his henchmen attacked the Nativists’ clubhouse, and vowed revenge.
		When Tammany politicians heard that Poole’s men were planning to attack their voters on election day, Morrissey offered to defend the polls with the toughest bruisers at his command, promising that “ears and noses would be highly regarded as souvenirs of an interesting occasion,” as Asbury put it.

		Ordinary people flood the streets to show their love for this extraordinary man, whipped up into a frenzy by the media, who have portrayed ‘Butcher’ Bill Poole as an heroic patriot, set upon by a mob of foreign immigrants.
		William Poole was the chief muscle for the secretive Know Nothing political party, which was reacting against the corrupt politics of the Irish dominated Tammany Hall of John A. Kennedy.
		Poole is shot in the heart, but is such a giant of a man, that he doesn’t die till a fortnight later.
