Description: The Society of the Banana in Ohio, Ohio, True Crime, Paperback In the early 1900s, a criminal society known as the Black Hand became feared across the United States as it extorted hardworking immigrants. In 1908, Agostino Iannarino received a series of threatening letters, and when he refused to pay, a bomb exploded at the entrance of his Columbus home. His family fled to Sicily, only to continue receiving threats. The following year, U.S. Post Office inspectors learned that a Black Hand gang called the Society of the Banana was headquartered in Marion, Ohio, and authorities attempted to put an end to the violent outrages occurring across the Midwest. Revealing twenty-four extortion letters written by members of the Society of the Banana, author Shane W. Croston details factual and fatal accounts of the Black Hand.
