{"product_id":"9780983948605","title":"Remembering Remus In Price Hill","description":"Visitors to the Price Hill Historical Society and Museum often ask about one resident who made his home in Price Hill for less than five years. But what a home it was! Almost a century after George Remus ran one of the most extensive bootlegging operations in the country from Cincinnati's west side, his name still has the ability to conjure up images of a gilt-edged mansion with a sleek modern swimming pool and other Jazz Age excesses. Why is the story of George Remus so fascinating? He used legal loopholes in the Volstead Act to make a fortune selling whiskey during Prohibition, he was ruthless and acted swiftly to protect his own interests, but he was widely known as a generous man who never forgot a friend or a favor, and he really knew how to throw a party. George Remus, for a few golden years, lived Gatsby's dream-he was the \"King of the Bootleggers.\"","brand":"Price Hill Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50086405505264,"sku":"9780983948605","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983948605","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
