I'm currently doing research regarding organized crime and I'm reading "The Rise and Fall of the Jewish Gangster in America by Albert Fried. Fried discusses the early Jewish street gangs and he says that in the early 1900's Maxwell St was referred to as "bloody Maxwell". (page 90) I was searching the web regarding "Maxwell St" and "Chicago" and I came upon the photograph of you great-great grandfather and your website. Although there is no connection to my research, other than the street name, the photo was interesting You might enjoy Fried's book - Regards Bob Cerra I enjoyed your website –
