And sometimes, those advancements mean that something that we thought worked, actually didn't. This has happened all throughout history, hasn't it? Like when doctors used to use leeches to draw out the “bad blood.” This seems ridiculous to us now - silly almost. But when medical failures hit a little closer to home - in the last five, 10, 30 years - then it doesn't seem so silly.

Still, everyone makes mistakes. While a little “oops” here and there is acceptable - and even expected - this rule is often overlooked when the person or company erring is in the public eye.

Whether it was rolling around with a Restoration actress à la Charles II, or non-stop marital romping in the royal boudoir like Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, each English monarch had a private life that still fascinates and titillates to this day. And the way monarchs' private preferences inflected their broader courts doesn't disappoint the curious modern reader, either.

People might forget a map showing the position of the 20th Maine on Little Round Top, but they never forget Jeff Daniels (playing Union Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in the film Gettysburg) shouting "Bayonets!" as he readies his unit to charge. The danger is that we can come to mistake the stories for the history. The real history of Gettysburg is far more complex than any one narrative.

Capone, leader of the Outfit from 1925 to 1931, was involved in underground activities long before taking over the group. Even after he went to prison in 1931, Capone may have had some knowledge of what the Outfit was up to. However, his mental deterioration from syphilis was so severe that the former gangster was released from prison early as a result.
Between 1939 and 1947, Al Capone lived out his days in Florida. The void left in the Chicago Outfit by Capone's absence was long ago filled, but when Capone passed away on January 25, 1947, he left behind one son, a wife, a mother, and numerous siblings.
So, what happened to the Chicago Outfit? Who took over? And what happened to Al Capone's son and other family members? We got curious and had to find out for ourselves.
