  Frank Herbert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Herbert was born in 1920 in Tacoma, Washington.
Herbert began researching Dune in 1959 and was able to devote himself more wholeheartedly to his writing career because his wife returned to work full time as an advertising writer for department stores, becoming the main breadwinner during the sixties.
Herbert later related in an interview with Willis E. McNeilly that the novel originated when he was supposed to do a magazine article on sand dunes in Florence, Oregon, but he got too involved in it and ended up with far more raw material than needed for a single article.

 Herbert Asbury's "Gangs of New York" -- A Review -- The Wild Geese Today
In fact, if you were to read no other history of New York, you would conclude that New York was made up of none other than gangsters - some of whom were actual thugs, some of whom were police and fire officers, and some of whom were the government.
A later chapter is devoted to the Tong Wars in Chinatown in the early 1900s, and to the Jewish and Italian gangsters who dominated during Prohibition, but the majority of the mayhem is ascribed to the Irish.
Patricia Jameson-Sammartano (pjs@TheWildGeese.com) is a longtime member of the Irish History Roundtable, the W.B. Yeats Society of New York, and the New York City Department of Education's Irish Heritage and Culture Week Council.

The Gangs of New York is a tour through a now unrecognisable city of abysmal poverty and habitual violence cobbled from legend, memory, police records, the self-aggrandizements of aging crooks, popular journalism, and solid historical research.
Part of the appeal of The Gangs of New York is that journalist Herbert Asbury was writing in the late 1920s at a time when (as he saw it) the era of the gangsters was over.
The Gangs of New York tells of huge neighbourhood armies which took to the field against each other (or the police or even the military) armed with staves and picks as often as firearms, bruisers rather than criminal masterminds.
