Sometimes, what almost happened in history is as interesting as what actually happened. While the “Great Man” theory of history is often criticized, there are some figures in history whose individual actions or personalities played significant roles in their times, and whose absence could have changed things significantly. Many times in history country leaders have narrowly escaped death. Some of those events could have ended important presidencies almost before they began.

In 1928, Joe “The Boss” Masseria, boss of the New York Morello gang, took the title "capo dei capi," or "Boss of all Bosses." But being on top paints a target on your back, and by 1930, a new boss had entered the field, with the goal of taking down Masseria. The war that followed was not your typical mob war, but one that would result in transforming the leadership, and changing the very nature, of organized crime in America, leading to one of the most significant events in American mob history: the founding of the “Commission."

Last year my son Josh and I got a very special invitation to go meet a group of hobbyists dedicated to preserving a bit of history. I truly appreciate people whose passion for collecting intersects with my love of history. That is why we were so excited to attend the Colt Collectors association’s 42nd annual all colt gun show held just outside Indianapolis in Noblesville Indiana.
