Description

"From 1922 to 1931, Pete and Sam Carlino controlled the flow of Prohibition alcohol from southern Colorado to Denver." Researched by grandson Sam Carlino (of Sam's Barbecue Restaurant), this book sheds light on a little-known chapter of organized crime in the Italian American community. It is the story of family members surviving a violent past, losing everything, and transforming themselves into a valuable presence in the legitimate business world.
