Editing Tammany Hall (section)

==Leaders==

There were two distinct entities: the Tammany Society, headed by a Grand Sachem elected annually on May 23; and the Tammany Hall political machine headed by a "boss". The following list names the political bosses, as far as could be ascertained. Tammany Hall operated with obfuscation in mind, so these public leaders may not reflect the actual leadership.<ref>Allen, p. 1</ref>
