Aprašymas

"Ninety percent of waht [sic] was written about me is bullshit"

Isadore Blumenfeld aka Kid Cann came to Minnesota as a toddler when his family emigrated from Romania. In Prohibition-era Minneapolis, a city of vast wealth inequality and vicious antisemitism, young Isadore rose from impoverished newsboy to millionaire. Kid Cann's ruthless determination, his own growing familial crime network and a willingness to commit wanton violence ignited his meteoric ascent. He got away with innumerable crimes over four decades before a series of relatively minor offenses brought him down. Although ravaged by stress and stripped of his social stature, the infamous gangster had earned a place in the folklore of Minnesota. Historian Ron de Beaulieu recounts the saga of the state's most notorious crime boss.
