Synopsis
12th & McGraw is the story of Forrest Haskell Jr. and his coming of age immeresed in the Detroit rackets in the 1940's. His father, forrest Haskell Sr., having been born into near poverty and abused as a child, had acquired a tremendous thirst for wealth. In his quest for riches he operated many different types of businesses, some legal and others not. From a young age Forrest Jr. worked along side his father and struggled with the corruption, violence, and evil that surrounded him. During these years he encountered many strange and unique characters whohad been hired to help run the racketeering and other business operations. His greatest challenge was dealing with the fallout from his father's double life. For over 50 years Forrest Sr. alternated each night between two separate families. This led to a lifelong identity crisis for young Forrest that haunts him even today. 12th & McGraw chronicles incidents of gun play, a secret language, and a custom-made automobile that was used as a rolling bank. It reveals, in detail, each of the racketeering businesses including the "Blind Pigs", bookmaking, numbers operations, loan sharking, and influence peddling that were commonplace in Detroit and all across the country during that era., It was said by some that knew us that my fathers personality and mine were so intertwined that when we met face to face there were really six people present. Each of us as he saw himself, each man as the other person saw him, and each man as he really was. This theme is the thread that runs through this story and binds it together. It is the story of a constant struggle for a young man coming of age, immersed in the rackets and at the same time trying to determine which personality was his and his alone. Simultaneously his father was coping with the same problem of multiple personalities. The fact that Forrest Sr. was born into near poverty and in a somewhat abusive family, gave him a tremendous thirst for wealth. In his quest for riches, he lets nothing or no one stand in his way, even getting involved in the rackets in the 1940s in Detroit Michigan. Along the way in his quest for gold, he encountered many weird and unusual characters, some of whom he hired to help run his racketeering operations. He also managed to meet a happily married woman and completely scramble her life to the extent that she bore him children while still married to another person.
