In this episode of History Crossroads, we take you into the gritty, shadowed streets of early 20th-century Brooklyn, where a young immigrant named Frankie Yale built an empire through cunning, brutality, and charm. Known as “Brooklyn’s Original Gangster,” Yale was a kingpin who ruled with a steady hand, navigating rivalries, betrayal, and the dark opportunities that Prohibition brought to America’s underworld.
More than just a mob boss, Yale was a mentor to Al Capone, shaping one of history’s most infamous figures and setting the stage for the violent, organized empire that would later come to define American crime. Join us as we explore Frankie’s rise to power, his dangerous alliances, and the chilling events that led to his violent, unforgettable end. Through rich storytelling and vivid descriptions, we bring you the life of a man who stood at the crossroads of loyalty, ambition, and consequence—a life that echoes through the legacy of the American mob.
