For some reason it seems to me that people tend to ignore the prohibition era gangster these days. Which is odd because that was the golden era of the mafia in America. I was thinking this could be a long term thread where people post info on prohibition era gangs and bosses. Even NYC prohibition era is relatively unknown to many. It wasn't just Masseria and Maranzano, there were gangs all over the place. So if we could, lets shed some light on the topic and from all over the country.

I'm gonna start with this piece from forum member JCB1977 because it was a great post and the inspiration for this thread.
