MONROE - Chad Lewis, author of "The Wisconsin Road Guide to Gangster Hot Spots," put together a presentation that takes a road trip back to the gangster days of Wisconsin. "Wisconsin's Gangster Past" is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Monroe Public Library, 925 16th Ave.
The presentation will feature America's most infamous gangsters as they turned Wisconsin into their own criminal vacation land: where John Dillinger had his bloody shoot-out with the authorities; where Baby Face Nelson hid out and mowed down innocent bystanders; and where Al "Scarface" Capone vacationed while the heat was on him in Chicago.
For over two decades, Chad Lewis has traveled the back roads of the world in search of the strange and unusual. With a master's degree in psychology, Lewis has authored over 20 books.
