Great Job !!! My Grandfather was in hospital with Legs Diamond , he was knocked down by a cab ,he was a poor seaman from Liverpool UK . Legs Diamond sent money to my Grandmother in Liverpool to help the family . I guess he had a heart after all .

The novel about him by William Kennedy is really good. I don't know how true to life it is; it's certainly more of a novel than a non-fiction book, but it's really good.

At least these kids are trying thier best to learn something. after all AMERICAN history is hardly taught in the least in our schools and that is a fact! the kids are using what they have to work with the best they can

[mobsterschultz1935]

Well i did fale ecach time i tryed to kill him intel that one day yeah your right kid and i killed him becuase i did find out ware he was staying and he tryed also to take over da bissness and i also killed him becuase he was a stupid head from the dutchman .

[ex3rgj]

legs real name was john nolan of irish ancestry.

[57highland]

and called "legs" because he was supposedly a good dancer.

[arsenal123454]

Prohibition was during the 1920's, please get your facts straight.

[murtagh1818]

it actually lasted from the early 1900s when PEI first started to promote the idea of prohibition. Then it ended in the late 1940s when PEI was the last to abandon the idea. YOU GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

[beyondalohas]

that is true. BUT 1,000s of counties across the US states,called DRY and no alcohol was allowed.till this day there are still counties in many states where alcohol is not be sold.Hmm..thinking back to those days,that was how Kennedy got rich!anyhow,Prohibition didnt just end in one day or within a year.these kids have very little to work with,since American history is watered down, very little is taught.dont be surprised,very few know what the word prohibition means,came from.

[howlinblues]

these old gangs would be protected and defended, just as the gangs of today are, by the ACLU, thus see how crime is flourishing.on the other hand,they are called politicians now.

[skagman76]

@howlinblues Dumb arses use capitals to get their point across and only retards make a point to correct children on youtube!
