Omaha Bootleggers: Facts and Folklore
During the heady days of Prohibition, bootlegging used to be big business in Omaha. From the bathtub gin manufacturers in Little Italy to the crime boss downtown, it seemed like everybody in Omaha was either involved in making illicit alcohol or drinking it.
Join John Blecha and Jack Atkins in a discussion of this interesting time in Douglas County history.
This talk is presented by the Douglas County Historical Society with funding provided by the Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Memorial Foundation
