Waukesha County gangsters
In the early 1900s Waukesha County, Wisconsin was a big resort area and vacation spot for people living in Chicago. Among the people who visited Oconomowoc's for a little rest and relaxation were Chicago's most notorious gangsters, such as Baby Face Nelson, Bugs Moran, John Dillinger and Al Capone. Wisconsin's heavily wooded areas were perfect for laying low after a job.
==What is happening==
The main gangster activity in Waukesha County in the early 1900s usually involved alcohol of some sort. Be it smuggling it in from Canada (usually on a seaplane that would land in one of Waukesha’s many lakes), distilling liquor in a hidden still, or loading it on to trucks and shipping it around the country., distilling liquor in a hidden still, And since it was prohibition it was all highly illegal. Despite all the illicit activity gangsters were often seen in a positive light. "A lot of (gangsters) had Robin Hood stories attached to them, like Pretty Boy Floyd and Bonnie and Clyde." said Mr. Jeffrey Pickron, a University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh history professor. "And a lot of these gangsters stories would talk about how they stole from the rich and gave the money to the poor."〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Jeffrey )〕 Gangsters had money, they lived exciting lives, and they lived by their own rules. It’s not that surprising that public opinion of “criminals” was somewhat high. Gangsters were constantly doing things that made them endearing to others. “There are plenty of stories, for example, of gangsters pulling into a service station, buying $1 worth of gas and giving the attendant a $20 tip.” They had a freedom that normal people during the great depression just didn’t have.
