Dutch Schultz: The Beer Baron of the Bronx

Beer, bloodshed, and buried treasure. That is the legacy left behind by one of New York’s most notorious malefactors, mobster and bootlegger Dutch Schultz.
Like many other criminals, Schultz saw Prohibition as the golden ticket to a life full of riches. And he was right, although many people had to die for him to achieve his goal. He fought not one, but two bloody gang wars in order to firmly establish himself as New York’s premiere distributor of illegal hooch, the cause of (and solution to) all of life’s problems.
