Lot Description
[CHICAGO] -- THRASHER, Frederic M. (1892-1962). Chicago’s Gangland. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1926.
Printed in red and grey, 683 x 4656 mm (some minor offsetting, a few tiny separations to folds, a few short marginal tears); folding into original envelope (a few separations to folds).
Issued to accompany Sociologist Frederic Thrasher's seminal 1927 study, The Gang: A Study of 1,313 Gangs in Chicago, the map depicts the locations of youth gangs in the "poverty belt," rather than focusing on Capone's Mob.
