Remus King of the Bootleggers
Description
Mark Plageman, Professor Emeritus of Miami University from 1966-96, is one Miami Middletown's original faculty members. His interest in George Remus, a Cincinnati lawyer and bootlegger who was the inspiration for The Great Gatsby, goes back to WWII, when he and his cousins played cops and robbers on Remus?s 10 acre estate at Eighth and Hermosa Avenues.
