Al Capone

1899–1947

Al Capone was an American gangster who became the dominant figure in Chicago organised crime during Prohibition. His organisation made money from bootlegging, gambling and vice, and his public notoriety made him a symbol of the violence and corruption of the 1920s underworld.

Al Capone was born in Brooklyn and died in Palm Island. Capone became the dominant figure in Chicago’s criminal underworld during Prohibition, but federal prosecutors eventually secured his 1931 conviction for income-tax evasion; declining health followed his imprisonment at Atlanta and Alcatraz.

In Vincent B. Davis II’s Blood of the Sons, The appearance of figures such as Lucky Luciano and Al Capone places the fictional Consentino family alongside the real gangland networks that reshaped American criminal power between the 1920s and 1930s. In Gilbert Morris’ One Shining Moment, From daring cross-country flights to seedy speakeasies to the Salvation Army headquarters, the Stuarts cross paths with the likes of Louis Armstrong, Rudolph Valentino, and Al Capone himself while they chase their dreams--and try to stay alive!.
