Seventeen Years In The Underworld is a non-fiction book written by Wellington Scott, originally published in 1916. The book is an autobiographical account of Scott's experiences as a criminal and his time spent in the American prison system. The author provides a detailed and candid look into the criminal underworld of the early 20th century, including his involvement in various illegal activities such as burglary, safe-cracking, and counterfeiting. Scott's story begins with his childhood in a poor family in New York City and his early experiences with crime. He eventually becomes a skilled criminal and forms a gang with several other men. The gang's criminal activities eventually lead to their arrest and imprisonment. Throughout the book, Scott shares his thoughts and reflections on his life of crime, the prison system, and the people he meets along the way. He also provides insight into the tactics and strategies used by criminals and law enforcement during this time period. Seventeen Years In The Underworld is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of crime and punishment in America. The book provides a unique perspective on the criminal underworld and offers a glimpse into the life of a man who spent nearly two decades behind bars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
