Parkhurst, Charles Henry

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Parkhurst, Charles Henry (1842–1933)

US clergyman and reformer. Although scholarly and reserved, he made a tremendous impact with two sermons (February 1892; March 1892) in which he attacked the political corruption of New York City government. Backed by the evidence he collected, his statements led to the defeat of Tammany Hall and to subsequent reforms. He wrote Our Fight with Tammany (1895).

He was born in Framingham, Massachusetts. Born on a farm, he became a high school principal and then was ordained (1874) as a Presbyterian minister. He preached in New York, New York (1880–1918).
