Al Capone
No one name has become more closely identified with a particular period in
history than Al Capone and the 1920s. As head of the Chicago branch of the
organized crime families, Capone controlled prostitution, bootlegging,
gambling, drugs, and the other enterprises that fed the coffers of Chicago’s
gangster barons. Disputes were common among rival mobs, and when gang
warfare broke out, Capone had the final word at the St. Valentine’s Day
Massacre. He successfully avoided the law until treasury agents caught him
on charges of income tax evasion. He died in a federal prison, but his name
will remain alive in the imaginations of Americans fascinated by the Roaring
Twenties. (12 minutes)
