A. Oakey Hall

Abraham Oakey Hall, {{circa|1870}} Abraham Oakey Hall (July 26, 1826 – October 7, 1898) was an American politician, lawyer, and writer. He served as Mayor of New York from 1869 to 1872 as a Democrat. Hall, known as "Elegant Oakey", was a model of serenity and respectability. In a scholar survey run by the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1993, he was ranked as the sixth-worst American big-city mayor to have served between the years 1820 and 1993. Recent historians have disputed the older depiction of Hall as corrupt or as a front man for a corrupt political order. Provided by Wikipedia
