William Oldfield

3.8/5 ( ratings)
William H. “Hammy” Oldfield is a historian, author, management consultant, and speaker/lecturer. His latest book with co-author Victoria Bruce, "Inspector Oldfield and the Black Hand Society” , became an Amazon best seller.

He is the great grandson of infamous US Postal Inspector John Frank Oldfield, who was credited with taking down the first international organized crime syndicate in US history, the Society of the Banana. This ground breaking criminal case culminated in the 1910 “Trial-of-the-Century”, with the federal conviction of 11 senior bosses and captains of the early Sicilian mafia.

William’s interesting family legacy, along with his father’s exciting lessons about history and philosophy to better understand the present, fostered within him a love of all things history. He enthusiastically promotes this love of history and continues to build an extensive collection of artifacts related to early organized crime.

William has been recognized as a Mafia Expert for the History Channel's "United Stuff of America", and regularly consults on Organized Crime topics for academic and entertainment researchers, family descendants of crime figures, and Criminology students in both the USA and Europe. He has lectured at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum, the Mob Museum, Historical Societies, and for fans of True Crime. He prides himself in his discretion, accuracy, and fairness when investigating and discerning truth from rumor when consulting or lecturing on sensitive organized crime topics.

He has received nationwide coverage for his family story and his organized crime knowledge through the Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, Politico, Vice, Washington Times, appeared on C-SPAN, and is a regular contributor for numerous podcasts and more.

William is currently working to create an early law enforcement exhibit at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas and to develop a True-Crime television or streaming series based on the criminal case files from the career of Inspector Oldfield. His extensive archival collection is available for collaborative research and viewing by appointment. William grew up in Akron, Ohio, and currently lives in Annapolis, Maryland. He can be contacted at: [email protected], on LinkedIn at William H “Hammy” Oldfield, and on Instagram at william.ham.oldfield.
