What would become the American mafia emerged first not in New York, or even the next city most commonly associated with mob lore, Chicago. Instead, that criminal association was born much further south, deep in the heart of Dixie: in New Orleans. In 1869, the New Orleans Times reported that the city’s Second District was overrun with: “well-known and notorious Sicilian murderers, counterfeiters and burglars, who, in the last month, have formed a sort of general co-partnership or stock company for the plunder and disturbance of the city.”

WWII lieutenant James Doohan with his grandmother. If that name sounds familiar to you, that's because he later went on to play Scotty in Star Trek.
quote:
At the beginning of World War II, Doohan joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and was a member of the 14th (Midland) Field Battery, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. He was commissioned a Lieutenant in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. He was sent to England in 1940 for training. He first saw combat landing at Juno Beach on D-Day. Shooting two snipers, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of anti-tank mines, where they took defensive positions for the night. Crossing between command posts at 23:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren gun by a nervous Canadian sentry: four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother. His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal on-screen during most of his career as an actor.

The Matrangas expanded their criminal activities from prostitution to labor rackets and a lucrative extortion scheme known as the Black Hand. They collected “tribute” from Italian laborers, as well as from a rival Italian crime family, the Prozenzanos, who monopolized South American fruit shipments. In the 1880s, America witnessed its first mob war, when the Matrangas fought the Prozenzanos over control of the New Orleans waterfront. Things steadily escalated, as each family brought in more and more muscle in the form of Mafiosi from the old country.

Saturday Review, February 21, 1953. Scrabble had actually been around since 1938, but only caught on after Selchow & Righter acquired the rights in 1952.
