Tom Dennison (political boss)

Tom Dennison, aka Pickhandle, Old Grey Wolf, (October 1858 – February 1934) was the early 20th century political boss and racketeer of Omaha, Nebraska. A politically savvy, culturally astute gambler, Dennison was in charge of the city's wide crime rings, including prostitution, gambling and bootlegging in the 1920s.〔Beerman, B.J. (2004) ''(Where the hell is Omaha? )'' AmericanMafia.Com Retrieved 6/18/07.〕 Dennison is credited with electing "Cowboy" James Dahlman mayor of Omaha eight times, and when losing an election, inciting the Omaha Race Riot of 1919 in retribution against the candidate who won.〔(nd) ("Dennison's Political Machine" ). NebraskaStudies.org. Retrieved 6/21/07.〕
==Early life==
The son of Irish immigrants, Tom Dennison came to Nebraska from Iowa in 1860 at the age of two.〔Larsen, L. and Cottrell, B. (1997) ''The Gate City: A History of Omaha.'' University of Nebraska Press. p. 180〕 When he was young, Dennison traveled throughout the West as a prospector, saloon-keeper, gambler and robber. Dennison had owned and operated gambling houses such as the Opera House Gambling Saloon in Leadville, Colorado and the Board of Trade saloon in Butte, Montana.〔Leighton, G.R. (1939) ''Five Cities: The Story of Their Youth and Old Age.'' Ayer Publishing. p. 194〕
