Moses claimed sole authorship of the 1915 state reorganization report

Evidence

Moses assumed a proprietary attitude toward the report. Certainly he was the driving force in its preparation, wrote its brilliant introduction himself and rewrote many other sections. Yet he was not the only person who had contributed to it, and he seemed unwilling to admit that fact. “I wrote the report, no question about it,” he insisted in later years. “I wrote or rewrote everything in it.” — Robert A. Caro, The Power Broker, 467
