Thoroughly enjoyed reading about small time mob activity in PA. This book gives a view of the evolution of the Shorto family from info collected by a grandson from interviews and historical records in Johnstown. Of particular interest is the relationship between the authors father and his grandfather and questions that were left unanswered by the research done. In reading this book, I felt like I was a fly on the wall witnessing mid century small town America in action. Wouldn't we all like to hear of the historical day to day evolution of our own families?
