Hamilton’s Dark History
Only dark and violent stories from true history. Not the Hamilton you know!
Events like executions and trials, names like Rocco Perri and the murderess Evelyn Dick… all where they happened.
Why our city has a terrible reputation for executions, and the death citizens wanted. Proving this was a mafia town, featuring the site of an assassination and the rise and fall of Canada’s own Al Capone.
