Hookers, Heroes and Hoodlums by James E. Reagen is a book of 33 true stories from the St. Lawrence Valley's history, focusing on the period between 1890 and 1910, based on local newspapers and historical records. It delves into forgotten tales of the region, including stories about prostitution (like "Queen of the West Side" Anna Dunnigan) and crime, offering a look into the area's less-discussed past.
