This haunting dossier--anonymously assembled and found in a thrift store--gives an unprecedented and intimate lowdown on the Chicago mafia Writer, curator, and gallerist John Corbett struck thrift gold at a going-out-of-business Chicago junk shop when he stumbled onto a browned and brittle manuscript intimately documenting the Chicago mob of the early 1930s.
In addition to the full-color manuscript, Bullets for Dead Hoods includes related documentary material, an introduction by John Corbett, a compilation of more than 400 locations referenced in the manuscript, and a pull-out map of Chicago that pinpoints hundreds of street addresses..
What we are left with is this idiosyncratic introduction to a storied chapter in Chicago history that knits the city together in a new way.
Whoever dared to put this testament together was clearly someone with access to information--a cop? a reporter? a bitter mafioso?--but who would\'ve risked sharing these particulars, and why, is a mystery that will likely never be solved. 1933 offers a detailed rundown on the Chicago Outfit through 140 noir character sketches, which range from the infamous--Al Capone, George Bugs Moran, the Everleigh Sisters--to their lesser-known aiders and abettors.
Presented here in facsimile in order to capture its distinctive materiality, Bullets for Dead Hoods: An Encyclopedia of Chicago Mobsters, c.
For all of the dossier\'s texture and personality, however, Corbett could find no clues as to the identity of its author.
