And, I believe, as you and I have discussed previously, Syracuse (in particular) had a huge contingent of Calabrian racketeers, "uomini di rispetto" or "men of honor," who controlled their own autonomous rackets and network for upwards of a century. I view it as a very unique city in that regard.
Yes but where do you find this information.What kind of sources do you use?
LOL, well, it takes a helluva lot of digging...and time, I'll tell you that much. Lol.
Depending upon the particular bio or historical piece we're doing, we'll use a ton of varied sources, some of which are FOIA, newspaper archives, federal and local law enforcement files, friends and family members, personal interviews, news reels, magazines, etc., etc.
