The Gentleman Bootlegger: The Story of Frank GATT

Robert A. Robinson

0/5 ( ratings)

To his family and friends and neighbors in the Italian-American community known as Garlic Gulch in Seattle, Frank Gatt was a respected and generous businessman. But to the federal agents who tracked his and his brother John's businesses for years, Frank Gatt was one of the most notorious and successful bootleggers in the Pacific Northwest. For nearly 20 years, his life revolved around hiding from police, federal agents, and his own misgivings; four adventures in courtroom trials; and two stays at the federal penitentiary on McNeil Island in the Puget Sound. Wrapped in between all of that was a unique friendship with one of the legendary photographers of the West, Asahel Curtis, identified as Ace in this book. This book is a "must read" to learn about Seattle's eye-opening history during Prohibition. It is also just a great story. ~Based on a true story
