Lincoln AveAve (847) 677-9740 Lincolnwood, IL IL 60712 60712 Pat’s Corner: Reviews from previous trips Day Trip: The Odyssey Boat Tour & Lunch What a wonderful Fall day spent on the new "Odyssey" Chicago Riverboat Architectural Lunch Cruise. The weather was perfect. After eating a delicious lunch, that was served with white gloves, you can retire to the deck to see the newest and tallest buildings of Chicago. A delightful day to spend with friends and family, and to quote, "Eventually all things merge into one, and a river runs through it." Theatre Trip: Hamilton What can I say in my review about the magnificent play, Hamilton. I have been lucky to have seen it 3 times and each time was like the first. Hamilton is a powerful presentation of a story inspired by the book Alexander Hamilton. It is the story of Hamilton's ascent out of poverty and into power against the backdrop of the America War of Independence. From the moment the curtains open, and the full cast is on stage, until the end when the curtains close, it is Magical, it is Rap, and it is Powerful. City-Style Lunch: Offshore at Navy Pier A Chic 36,000 square foot rooftop venue overlooking a beautiful Lake Michigan. A spectacular meet and greet with a skyline like no other. It is opened all seasons and that makes it a fabulous place for special events. Lovely leather couches with low tables and high tables with stools make for a variety of places to sit and enjoy the exotic shared foods. The 360 degree view, while eating at the Offshore, are of the wonderful boats that fill our beautiful lake with all of their glory. Pat’s Book Review: The Ghosts of Eden Park The Ghosts of Eden Park by Karen Abbott A true crime story of a time, 1921, in the early days of prohibition, a man named George Remus became the most successful Bootlegger in America.

  • 1. Before Reading the Ghosts of Eden Park, How Much Did You Know
    1. Before reading The Ghosts of Eden Park, how much did you know about George Remus, Mabel Walker Willebrandt, and the Prohibition Era? Which historical aspects of the book surprised you the most? Did you learn new things about this period in history? 2. You meet two very different female characters in the book: Imogene Remus and Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Compare and contrast these two characters. With whom did you most identify and why? What did you like or dislike about them? How did they each adhere to—and rebel against— circumscribed gender roles? 3. George and Imogene’s relationship deteriorates after he’s sent to prison. Taking into consideration everything you’ve learned about Imogene, do you believe their love was genuine? Why or why not? Were you surprised by their fates at the end? 4. What role does the Jazz Age setting play? Do you think these events could have occurred in any other era? 5. What were your initial impressions of George Remus? Did your opinions shift throughout the story? 6. The Ghosts of Eden Park uses excerpts of trial testimony to foreshadow and create suspense. Did you know which character would commit murder? Did your assumptions change at all as you read? 7. As you read about the court proceedings, what reactions did you have to the trial-by-jury process? What are the most significant factors in getting a fair trial, or an intelligent investigation? Have you served on a jury, or been a defendant before a jury? If so, how did your experience compare to the one described here? How would you have voted had you been on that jury? 8.

  • George Remus and Prohibition

Box 641 Covington, KY 41012 (859)491-4003 March/April 2018 George Remus and Prohibition Ludlow Historical Society Launches First “Bricks and Mortar” Project George Remus and Prohibition John Boh Cincinnati bootlegger George Remus was an unbelievable phenomenon. When the new law pro- hibiting the manufacture and sale of alcohol dimin- ished their market value, he acquired 14 distilleries. He purchased millions of gallons of bonded whisky already in storage when Prohibition began and was soon on his way to what many competitors might have felt to be a whisky “monopoly.” Gaugers watched the inventory and were charged with measuring amounts withdrawn for spec- ified purposes acceptable in the 18th Amendment’s Volstead Act. But bribery encouraged illicit signa- tures by officials on withdrawal certificates for the gallons requested by the “medical wholesalers” operat- ed by Remus. Once on the road in his own trucks to a “medical” destination he might “hijack” his own liquor diverting it into the bootleg market. According to one author, Remus, in one year, deposited $2.8 million (the equivalent in 2018 of more than $40 million) into one of his many bank accounts. He employed hundreds of drivers, guards, Above: George Remus portrait salesmen, office personnel and warehouse workers Photo courtesy George Remus Mansion Website and lawyers.

  • Bootleggers and Rum-Runners Among Women During the Prohibition in the United States
    University BOOTLEGGERS AND RUM-RUNNERS AMONG WOMEN DURING THE PROHIBITION IN THE UNITED STATES Student’s Name and Surname Course Professor Due Date Surname 2 Bootleggers and Rum-Runners Among Women During the Prohibition in the United States Today, when a little less than a century has passed since the end of the Prohibition Era, the period remains understudied in the academic community and little is known about it within the general public. As a result, conventional attitudes towards the Prohibition are full of myths and stereotypes. One of the most common, yet superficial perceptions of the Prohibition refers to its representation as a period dominated by powerful, violent, and insolent male criminals like Al Capone, Bill McCoy, and George Remus. Such an interpretation has more in common with a legend rather than empirically proven facts. In particular, the Prohibition had a substantial 'female side' shaped by bootleggers and rum-runners among women. Due to the particular legal and social circumstances, female bootleggers were often more successful compared to their male companions. The overall historical background of the period is necessary to understand the specific economic and social factors underlying the Prohibition Era. The beginning of the twentieth century in US politics was marked by the domination of Progressivist views in the social, economic, and cultural lives of the nation. Adherents of Progressivist views believed the mass consumption of alcohol to be the reason underlying most of the social problems challenging US society at that time. Eventually, in 1920, the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was adopted, declaring the production, transport, and sale of alcohol illegal throughout the US territory.
