Reclaiming the city. 1929 ; 1930-1933. 520 $a "The high times, the rubouts, the payoffs -- they're all here in Wayne Klatt's account of the Windy City's wildest years. The entire country -- the world -- was shocked and entertained by what went on in Chicago during Prohibition. Learn how it all happened, from a step-by-step speakeasy set-up to the White Sox scandal to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Pull back the gauzy curtains of the gaudy era when Al Capone contributed to Mayor William Thompson's campaign and Governor Len Small used gangsters to fix his embezzlement trial. After studying every day of the Toddlin' Town's stint in Prohibition, author Wayne Klatt shows how bootleg gangs came into power and demolishes the myth of a North Side-South Side rivalry."--Publisher marketing. 650 0 $a Prohibition $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205011552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6EE04AC0627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
