Come by and meet Sam Carlino the author of Colorado’s Carlino Brothers, A Bootlegging Empire. Come get your book and have it signed.

From 1922 to 1931, Pete & Sam Carlino controlled the flow of Prohibition alcohol from southern Colorado to Denver before their empire suffered gruesome, bloody demise. The brothers battled their own kin in the Danna family to secure southern Colorado’s bootleg liquor territory. Dozens perished on their rise to power. Eventually, mafia boss Nicola Gentile intervened to settle the dispute involving the brothers’ associates. Pete Carlino’s grandson, author Sam Carlino, uncovers intimate photos and new revelations, including confirmation that Pete Carlino met with Salvatore Maranzano in New York and that the death of both men on September 10, 1931, may not have been a coincidence.
