The Autobiography of a Thief

by Hutchins Hapgood

Overview

A very interesting, authentic account of the life of a charming small-time crook in New York City's underworld at the end of the 19th century. Well-written, while incorporating the jargon of the time and situation. I thoroughly enjoyed it and heartily recommend it.
