Black Gangsters of Chicago
Chicago's
fabled
underworld
is
famous
for
its
high-profile
gangsters
such
as
Al
Capone.
Not
as
publicly
known,
but
perhaps
even
more
notorious,
are
the
names
of
"Mushmouth"
Johnson,
Jeff
Fort
and
Larry
Hanover.
These
African-American
gangsters
were
every
bit
as
powerful,
intriguing
and
colorful
as
the
Windy
City's
more
famous
white
gangsters.
Now
for
the
first
time,
journalist
Ron
Chepesiuk reveals their fascinating stories and that of the many other interesting gangsters from Chicago's black underworld.
