Central Florida's Most Notorious Gangsters

ebook
Blazing gun battles, bank heists, and high-speed escapes: The true story of two men who terrorized Depression-era Florida and the Deep South.
 
This is the story of Alva Hunt and Hugh Gant, central Florida’s own Dillinger and Capone. They began their infamous careers fencing automobile parts as the Florida land boom became a bust. After doing hard time in state jails, they emerged as bank robbers and embarked on a crime spree across the Deep South.
 
In the end they were captured and served time in Leavenworth, Alcatraz, and other penitentiaries. Their reign was one of terror for Florida and many Southern states. Their story reflects an intriguing period in Florida’s own history, and the desperate days when Southern gangsters were armed, notorious and deadly.
