註釋Murray Hall lived in New York City during the second half of the 19th century. An immigrant from Scotland, he was known as a cigar-smoking, whiskey-drinking, poker-playing bon vivant. A Tammany Hall politician, Murray ran an employment agency and worked as a bondsman. He was arrested more than once and thrown into The Tombs-the famous New York City prison-and bailed out by his friends. He was married twice- his first wife mysteriously disappeared. His second wife had a daughter whom Murray adopted and doted upon. He loved being a father. He loved reading too and knew his favorite booksellers well, and they knew him, or at least knew his literary taste: Walt Whitman's poetry, Havelock Ellis's psychology books, Agnew's Principles and Practice of Surgery.The death of Murray Hall on January 16, 1901, shocked many people, including his closest friends.Murray, it turned out, had not been born a man.Based on a true story.
