About this listen
Here are the stories of the great gangs that once terrorized New York City, from the Bowery Boys and the Dead Rabbits to the Gophers and the Eastmans—here are the infamous gangsters, from the days of the murderous Five Points Gangs to the later underworld mobs led by Mose the Bowery Boy, Monk Eastman, Paul Kelly, Kid Dropper, Dopey Benny, Gyp the Blood, and Owney Madden, and such feminine underworld luminaries as Gallus Mag and Sadie the Goat.
An informative and important addition to what was, in the view of the late 1920s audience it was written for, the little-known history of the crime-infested hellholes of modern Babylon!
Originally published in 1928 by Alfred A. Knopf Inc. in New York.
