William Flinn : ウィキペディア英語版 | William Flinn
William Flinn (1851—1924) was a powerful political boss and construction magnate in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Along with Christopher Magee (1848—1901), his political partner, the two ran the Republican Party machine that controlled the city for the final twenty years of the 19th century. ==Early life== He was born in Manchester, England on May 26, 1851 to John Flinn and Mary Hamilton Flinn, both Irish immigrants. The family emigrated later that year to the United States and settled in Pittsburgh's Sixth Ward, famous for its hard-scrabble politics, where his father established a small contracting business. Educated in the Pittsburgh Public Schools, Flinn dropped out at age 9 to deliver newspapers, shine shoes, and later apprentice in the gas and steam fitting trades.
