520    "With the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment, 'drying up'
       New York City promised to be the greatest triumph of the 
       proponents of Prohibition. Instead, the city remained the 
       nation's greatest liquor market. Smugglers, Bootleggers, 
       and Scofflaws focuses on liquor smuggling to tell the 
       story of Prohibition in New York City. Using previously 
       unstudied Coast Guard records from 1920 to 1933 for New 
       York City and environs, Ellen NicKenzie Lawson examines 
       the development of Rum Row and smuggling via the coasts of
       Long Island, the Long Island Sound, the Jersey shore, and 
       along the Hudson and East Rivers. Lawson demonstrates how 
       smuggling syndicates on the Lower East Side, the West Side,
       and Little Italy contributed to the emergence of the 
       Broadway Mob. She also explores New York City's scofflaw 
       population--patrons of thirty thousand speakeasies and 
       five hundred nightclubs--as well as how politicians 
       Fiorello La Guardia, James 'Jimmy' Walker, Nicholas Murray
       Butler, Pauline Morton Sabin, and Al Smith articulated 
       their views on Prohibition to the nation. Lawson argues 
       that in their assertion of the freedom to drink alcohol 
       for enjoyment, New York's smugglers, bootleggers, and 
       scofflaws belong in the American tradition of defending 
       liberty. The result was the historically unprecedented 
       step of repeal of a constitutional amendment with passage 
       of the Twenty-first Amendment in 1933"--|cPublisher's web
