Reverend Spracklin was a gangster's worst nightmare. Known to the
press and public as the 'Fighting Parson', he and his handpicked
squad of dry agents burst into the roadhouses of Essex County with
pistols drawn and fists clenched. They chased liquor-laden vehicles
through dark city streets and along rough country roads, and
intercepted rumrunners on the Detroit River in their high-powered
speedboat, the Panther II. The minister went, often alone, into the
most dangerous nightspots of 1920s Windsor, and responded to
opposition by punching, not preaching. He thought nothing of
carrying around a stack of blank search warrants and filling them
out himself as needed. He could not be scared or bought, and he
survived one assassination attempt after another. It was only when
a roadhouse owner who also happened to be a long-time enemy died at
his hands that the campaign was finally stopped. His life is told
in this short book.
