Big Sue
Big Sue or Sue, the Turtle was the pseudonym of an African-American saloonkeeper and underworld figure whose Grand Street dive bar was destroyed during the New York Draft Riots in 1863.〔Asbury, Herbert. ''The Gangs of New York''. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1928. ISBN 1-56025-275-8〕 After she had been attacked and ''"frightfully beaten"'' by a group of women from the Five Points, her liquor was confiscated and distributed amongst the rioters around Thompson Street's Arch Block.〔Crapsey, Edward. ''The Nether Side of New York, Or, the Vice, Crime and Poverty of the Great Metropolis''. New York: Sheldon & Company, 1872.〕 Although considered an honest dive keeper, as thievery among many of the city's taverns and saloons were rampant, she is suspected to have been involved in prostitution as a procuress and brothel owner. ==References== 〔
