Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - [Black & White Edition] Drenched Uniforms and Battered Badges recounts the role of Dayton police during Ohio's Great Flood of 1913 and how the police force emerged from the catastrophe. This book describes the efforts of the 136 patrolmen who sacrificed a great deal to aid and save the citizens of Dayton. Many acted on their own instincts in the first few days because they were in the field without lines of communication, transportation or supervision. The story also describes the measures taken by police - as well as firemen, civilian guards and the military - to safeguard the city at the time of its greatest natural disaster. The account begins with the development of local police service in the closing decades of the 19th century leading into 1913. It concludes by relating how the Great Flood became a transformative event for the city of Dayton while ushering in profound changes for local law enforcement over the course of the following decade. A postscript on the Gamewell system of police telegraph (i.e. the patrol call box) is an added feature in the book. This commemorative book, written for the 100th anniversary of the Great Flood, is 114 pages in length and includes more than 70 flood and police pictures, photographs of 25 patrolmen and unique images of police artifacts from the period.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - [Black & White Edition] The Christmas Killings: 40 Hours to Justice is published on the 25th anniversary of, arguably, Dayton, Ohio's most shocking murder spree. The crimes were so horrifying that they captured the attention of the national and international press. Known as 'The Christmas Killings,' this series of events became a worldwide news story in the print media and early days of cable news. This true-life crime drama opens Christmas week 1992 in a Dayton, Ohio, a declining major industrial U.S. city. This was written from the vantage point of the four detectives who investigated the murders.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dayton, Ohio is the setting for this story and with it comes two larger-than-life figures: John Dillinger, who would later be named the nation's first 'Public Enemy No. 1,' and Police Chief Rudy Wurstner, who would become the nation's 'Dean of Police Chiefs.' All three - The Dean, Dillinger, and Dayton - come into their own in different ways in the year 1903, making it the starting point for this story. The 'Gem City' has unique tales as compelling as those of other more publicized metropolises. While Dillinger was in and out of Dayton over a mere 5 months in 1933, Chief Wurstner served Dayton citizens over the course of 5 decades. Yet is it Dillinger who is best remembered nationally. Often publications - when addressing Dillinger's time in Dayton and with his local girlfriend, Mary Jenkins Longnaker - gloss over the episode; Mary was not a gangster moll and his coming to Dayton happened before the famed Allen County jail escape. But the local story is more involved, and not surprisingly when it comes to Dillinger, a mix of facts and folklore. This is the definitive tale of Dillinger in Dayton and brings to light his forlorn love affair. Readers will also be introduced to other gangsters and mobsters with Greater Dayton connections - such as local crime figure Al Fouts, the more infamous Chicago mobster George 'Bugs' Moran, gangster Al Karpis, and many others. In the end, this saga will tie Dayton, Ohio to colorful legends from arguably the most notorious period in American history. The many figures and events from the Gem City's past provide an astonishing untold legacy.
