"Mother's in the kitchen, washing out the jugs, Sister's in the pantry, bottling the suds, Father's in the cellar, mixing up the hops, Johnny's on the porch, watching for the cops. Learn the fascinating history of Prohibition in Bradford, where illegal bootleggers commonly practiced throughout the city, gangsters ruled the city's criminal underworld, and the sound of gunfire could be heard on Main Street. Who killed Al Ritchie? Joe Barber? Patsy Musolino? And were your grandparents bootleggers? This new book by local historian Sally Ryan Costik looks at that unique time in Bradford history: the Bradford and Olean gangsters and their murderous vendetta, the Bradford bootleggers, and local and county law enforcement who tried to control the illegal moonshine business. Taken from real newspaper accounts of the events, a 1927 Bradford police docket, and featuring photographs of the 1920s, this book is an entertaining glimpse back to that period of time called Prohibition." -- book jacket.
