(Al Capone at Alcatraz. Ocean View Publishing. 1992. Fifth Paragraph) It was said that Capone ordered the 1929 Saint Valentine's Day Massacre in the Lincoln Park neighborhood on Chicago's North Side. He later in life had a stroke which in turn caused him to go into cardiac arrest on January 25, 1947. The most dangerous and fearsome pirate that I know about the most is Blackbeard the Pirate.
