Description
Steffens' "Tweed Days in St. Louis," published in McClure's magazine in October 1902, is considered the first work of muckraking journalism. Subsequent articles published by McClure's as a series were gathered in book form as The Shame of the Cities, which remains stubbornly timely and prescient more than a century later.
