Al Capone is one of the most well-known gangsters in the world. His participation in early 1920's crimes is famous and will be remembered throughout history. He's somewhat like the "Billy the Kid" of the 20th century. It all started with the Valentine's Day Massacre. Afterwards, he took over alcohol sales during the prohibition and took control of the underground gambling and back hall drinking establishment. He essentially ran Chicago. Read some quotes from the mobster Al Capone below.

Prohibition has made nothing but trouble.

Now I know why tigers eat their young.
I am going to St. Petersburg, Florida, tomorrow. Let the worthy citizens of Chicago get their liquor the best they can. I'm sick of the job-it's a thankless one and full of grief. I've been spending the best years of my life as a public benefactor.
