James T. Fitzgerald

"Still the best looking and by far the most self-sufficient of all the Fitzgeralds, Jim was considered, by 1906, 'an extremely wealthy man' and a most influential figure in Charlestown, where he was not only proprietor of the Bunker Hill House, one of the largest hotels in the city, but also the owner of three barrooms, including the successful tavern at Sullivan Square...Jim was invariably cool and distant, a man who preferred to exercise his power from behind the scenes." -Doris Kearns Goodwin "The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys - An American Saga"
