The powerful and evocative documents reproduced here offer an unprecedented avenue to the city's past-a fascinating collective portrait of the evolution of one of America's great towns.

T. Stead's -Map of Sin-; and Bruce-Roberts' 1931 -Gangland Map--a tongue-in-cheek -expose- of a city populated by such powerful underworld figures as Al Capone, -Baby Face- Nelson, -Machine Gun- Kelly, and others, indicating various gang territories and warehouses.
