More About This Book

Overview

Ride with author John Hall into the turbulent world of 1960s bike club culture, from his beginnings at an upstart motorcycle club to his rise to the Long Island chapter president of the Pagans, a club that the FBI called “the most violent criminal organization in America.” Follow him into the Pagan heartland of Pennsylvania where he fell in love, got in a roadhouse brawl over a honky-tonk angel, and eventually went to jail for “takin’ care a club business.” Now after a career as a journalist and college professor, he returns to the violent days of his youth and smashes up stereotypes like he once smashed up bars, resurrecting long-dead brothers in a style reminiscent of Jack Kerouac and Mark Twain. Hall presents them as they really were: hard living, hard loving, hard drinking, hard fighting rebels, but also hardworking, patriotic, loyal, and lovable characters. Outlaws, yes, but outlaws as American as apple pie.

A former chapter president of the Long Island Pagans, John Hall has done time in the state pen, as well as Penn State, where he taught history, American studies, rhetoric, and mathematics. He also worked as bouncer, bartender, bookmaker, stonemason, professional gambler, law clerk, and freelance journalist. He has written over 400 syndicated opinion columns, which have appeared in over a dozen newspapers, including the Houston Post and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He currently lives in the Appalachian Mountains.

Meet the Author

A former chapter president of the Long Island Pagans, John Hall has done time in the state pen, as well as Penn State, where he taught history, American studies, rhetoric, and mathematics. He also worked as bouncer, bartender, bookmaker, stonemason, professional gambler, law clerk, and freelance journalist. He has written over 400 syndicated opinion columns, which have appeared in over a dozen newspapers, including the Houston Post and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He has raised seven children, half the time as a single parent. He currently lives in a 127-year-old dilapidated farmhouse in the Appalachian Mountains, where he seeks what George Jean Nathan once described as the three essentials of life: reasonable well prepared food, a moderately alcoholic diet, and the amiable company of amiable women.

    Excellent !

    A great story, written in such style that the reader feels as though they're riding along with the Pagans throughout the whole book. You'll meet intriguing, animated characters in each chapter to accompany you through a story that could only take place in America during the late 60's. A fine piece of motorcycle literature, indeed.

    Best book about outlaw motorcycle clubs I have read

    For anyone who want's to know how motorcycle clubs used to be, you need to get this book. It was amazingly well written for the subject matter. The book flows like any well written novel. The author recounts his time as a leader in the Pagan's MC back in the mid to late 60's. These guys were no saints, but they were a lot different than the image of today's outlaw mc's. I'm currently reading a couple of other books on the subject, and they don't hold a flame to this book as far as content and style. I think anyone would be pleased with the stories in this book, especially if you enjoy the freedom of the open road on two wheels.
