Mobsters and Rumrunners of Canada
By Gord Steinke
Folklore Publishing
During the 1920s, Prohibition laws in the US led to lucrative deals between business-savvy Canadians and their mobster connections south of the 49th parallel. The ensuing crime sprees filled with tommy guns and barrels of bootleg whisky have become part of the rich folklore of the Roaring Twenties. In this rollicking collection, noted journalist and broadcaster Gord Steinke uncovers the ruses and schemes used by Canadian rumrunners to sneak their booze past the long arm of the law.
