In Photo-Timeline
The Death of Organized Crime:
Where alcohol is medicine, the hearse is a car, and a grave is a location where the dead body is buried..
All books begin with the cover. To understand that it is based on the gangster the foreword must come from Herbert Ashbury.
In order for such a book to be completed, men had to die. From the Five Points to Brownsville, the Boardwalks of Coney Island to Atlantic City, the gangster emerges.
This book will cover the present day visuals pertaining to the order of orientation based on the gangs of New York.
Where information could be obtained and continues to exist this booklet will show you who, what, where, when, why, and how.
From this pictorial manuel you will get to know the difference between gangsters like Albert "The Mad Hatter" Anastasia and Nell "The Hat" Dellacroce. You will recognize the difference between Francis 'Two Guns' Crowley and Louis 'Cohen' Krezner. You will be able to tell apart Frank Abbandando, Frank Abbatemarco, and Otto "Abbadabba" Biederman.
You will know the difference between Bugsy Siegal and Bugs Moran, Louie the Lump Pioggi and George "Hump" McManus, 'Lulu' Rosenkrantz and 'Toto' D'Aquila, Seymour "Piggy" Schechter, Benjamin "Dopey Benny" Fein, and Irving "Puggy" Feinstein.
You will not confuse Shapiro Brothers Meyer, Irving, and William with Jacob Shapiro but realize that two of the Shapiro Brothers, Irving and Meyer were killed by Amberg Brothers, Joseph and Louis.
You will know who the Amberg Brothers were and not confuse them with Jacob 'Little Augie' Orgen or confuse 'Little Augie' Orgen with 'Little Augie' Carfano or Jacob Orgen with Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro.
You will know the difference between Maranzano and Masseria. You will know who the first boss of bosses was and the last. You will know there were actually two 'Kid Twist', not one. You will know which gangsters were killed in Coney Island, or in the Lower East Side, and that Waxey Gordon was not Kid Dropper though he was his second accidental insurrection as was Vincent "The Chin" Gigante to Carmine "The Cigar" Galante.
You will know their real names as engraved on their gravestones as well as their alias. You will know who killed who and who ended up buried in the same cemetery. You will not confuse Cypress Hills Cemetery with Calvary Cemetery 1, 2, 3, or 4, or Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx with Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn. You will understand that Staten Island is a borough of NYC and there are gangsters buried there too. You will learn that Brooklyn and Queens are part of Long Island and that there are gangsters buried there as well.
You will not confuse the existence of these men for the same reasons that they are all different, not one in the same, like avoiding confusing Walt Whitman with Will Rogers, or Charles Dickens to Mark Twain, Calamity Jane with Annie Oakley, or Wild Bill Hickok to Buffalo Bill.
This manual will finally clear up the total aspects of these men and their memory as to clarify the reality of their lives.
With the exception of gangsters like Joe "Bananas" Bonanno buried in Arizona, like Johnny Ringo, a gunfighter from another era, and wild west legend, Wyatt Earp, buried in Colma California, his deputy, Bat Masterson, is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, New York.
This book will focus primarily on those buried in the New York area except where the author had the opportunity to photograph outside the New York region.
This book will reveal all there is to the "Naked City" before and after Weegee (Arthur Fellig), or Matthew B. Brady, or Jacob Riis, or Alfred Stieglitz.
Since there are no longer standing photographers who have witnessed that vanished world, I have personally created new images from the past today to form an orderly album which amounted from years of research, commuting, editing, and photography, to establish the current updated order, exploring neighborhoods which are currently vanishing right before our eyes as well as navigating the mazes of the many isolated cemeteries and abandoned graveyards in various locations of New York State to include Westchester County, Long Island, and the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island, and even venturing outside the safety and confines of New York State to dismal locations in New Jersey, one of the original 13 colonies during the American Revolution and one of the 50 states in the Union of the United States of America, and Chicago, a city in the state of Illinois, and Miami, a city inside the state of Florida, and Arizona and Arkansas which although begin with the letter "A" are a stark distance of 1096.28 miles or 20 hours and 19 minutes apart.
The evolution of organized crime in New York City does not begin in the 19th Century. It begins in 1624 with Peter Munuit of the Dutch East India Company, although the first immigrant to settle in New York City was a free black man named Juan Rodriguez (Joao or Jan Rodrigues), who came to Manhattan in 1613 to trade with the Indians, reaffirming and re-writing history to reflect the truth that Africans and Latinos did not arrive yesterday, but before this city began to be what it is today and the confirmation of the true criminal european element and it's race as proven by the genetics of the neanderthal which brings us to the sociological/psychological answer to the question; What created these types of men? Was it the New York location or where they came from?
Highlighting this jagged dichotomy that still lurks over this city, graves are symbolic for gangsters. Approaching them has a double meaning because the gangster is always running out of time. He will die living the dark side of the american dream, reinforcing the concept of the outlaw as the perfect anti-hero.
This book is the perfect gangster manual.. written by a living legend and the greatest Criminologist genius the world has ever known.
