SUMMARY:Lincoln's Counterfeiters - Author Visit
DESCRIPTION:In need of cash to finance the Civil War\, Abraham Lincoln turned to the nation's leading counterfeiters\, including a band of enterprising criminals based in Monroe\, Wisconsin. Operating under the nose of Allan Pinkerton\, the Bonelatta Gang worked alongside the Kentucky Colony\, who formed Chicago's corrupt Democratic Machine and nurtured the Levee Lords all the way down to Al Capone.
