Abstract

Michael O'Malley's I The Beat Cop i traces the journey of Francis O'Neill, an Irish immigrant who rose to the top of Chicago's police department while cultivating a passion for Irish music. By the time O'Neill became General Superintendent in 1901, he "turned the authority of his office toward his music collecting, using the techniques of modern police work to collect and catalog the music Chicago's Irish immigrants played" (191).
