U of ILL. Gang Research - John Hagedorn - quotes author M.Scott:http://books.google.com/books?id=LcMa...This video is a scrapbook of photos taken of the Lawndale and Altgeld Gaylords during the time period of which the novel was written. Some of their rivals were: Imperial Gangsters, Maniac Latin Disciples, Insane Spanish Cobras, Orchestra Albany, Simon City Royals, Latin Lovers, Maniac Destroyers, Latin Dragons, and all Folk Nation gangs.Below is asynopsis of the book: http://www.gaylords712.com/book.htmlBred and defined in the 1950S era of White greaser gangs, the Gaylords steadily grew in Chicago to become a gang to be reckoned with. By the early 1980s, Spanish immigration threatened not only their reign, but the very survival of many. Michael Scott was a member of the Gaylords through this turbulent time period, and has written a story based on actual events, to offer all of us a ticket to take a suspenseful guided tour. The book not only gives the reader a roller coaster ride of traditional gang fights, but it also gives an historical account of what it took to walk the streets of Chicago as White youth in the 1970s and 1980s.Music/Literature Review Interview with M.
